Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major move in the FPL team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

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

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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