Which Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One big decision in the FPL team of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware 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 flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
