Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

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

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know 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 rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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