Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One big move in the FPL squad of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

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

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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