Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the FPL team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
