Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

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

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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