Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The big move in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single 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 created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) 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 opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

Subs' Bench

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