Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up 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 striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
