Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long 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, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

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

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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