Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key call in this FPL team of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves 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 gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

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

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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