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

The major decision in the FPL team of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to attack - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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 generated more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of 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 Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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