Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The major move in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy 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 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter 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 Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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