🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek The big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland! Our funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history. Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief. This lineup of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Team Do? The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success! FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16 Defensive Picks Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action. Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures. Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures. In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfield Picks Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have. Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be licking their lips. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches. Strikers Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h) Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds. He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role. Subs' Bench Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
