Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big move in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to 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.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
