Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

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

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well 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 the number nine role.

Substitutes

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