Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big move in the FPL squad of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, 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 minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
