Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
