Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
