Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

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

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
