Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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