Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big call in the FPL squad of the week is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

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

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

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

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
