Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to target - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

  • Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
