🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek One major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! The budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory. It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must target - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief. This team of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Team Perform? The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success! FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches. Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return 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. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games. Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games. During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be licking their lips. Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff 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, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up. He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton. Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home. Attack Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games. However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds. He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward. The Bench Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
