Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

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 most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing 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 the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
