Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

The Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
