🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week The major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history. Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief. This lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Squad Do? No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success! FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures. Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created 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 shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures. During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfield Picks Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have. No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that. Arsenal will be licking their lips. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners. With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be. You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in. He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted. This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home. Attack Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h) Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He performed strongly 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 competed with him for minutes at centre-forward. Subs' Bench Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
