🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week One key call in the FPL team of the week is to go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland! Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history. It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence. This lineup of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Squad Do? No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom! Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action. Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches. Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league. And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home) You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures. In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential. No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted. This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON. He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home. Strikers Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
