Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) 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 rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

The Bench

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