Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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