Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to target - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

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

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, 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 sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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