Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

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

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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