Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
