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

The major decision in the FPL team of the week is to select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
