Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you must target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

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

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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