Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) 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)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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