Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must target - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's 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, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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