Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One major move in the FPL lineup of the week is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

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

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

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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