Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for no City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities 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 rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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