Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One big decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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