Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you must target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

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

The Gunners 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 consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's 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 frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice 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)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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