Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this term, 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 game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
