Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton 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 (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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