🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek One big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland! Our budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history. It's true, Manchester City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence. The team of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. Performance of The Previous Team Fare? The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action. A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches. Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division. And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign. Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games. More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures. In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too. Midfield Picks Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that. Arsenal will be keen to attack. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON. He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home. Attack Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games. However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds. He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role. The Bench Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
