Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign 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

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