Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

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

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 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 the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, 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 ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
