Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 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 prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £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 well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
