Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

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 could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
