Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The major call in the FPL team of the week involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced 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 most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
