🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek The key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland! Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history. Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence. This team of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Team Fare? The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom! FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches. Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home) Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games. During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too. Midfielders Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential. No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) 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 opportunity to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up. He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted. This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON. He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home. Attack Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United. He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
