Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) 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 opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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