Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The major call in the FPL lineup of the week involves opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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