Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big decision in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created 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 rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

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

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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