Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to target - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League 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.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road 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 superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing 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 seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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