Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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