Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal 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 sort of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
