Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
