Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 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 could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 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 more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
