🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week One key decision in this FPL team of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland! The funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history. Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief. This squad of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did The Previous Squad Perform? The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success! FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches. Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home) Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season. Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches. 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 taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well. Midfield Picks Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored. This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches. Strikers Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds. He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role. Substitutes Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
