Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

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

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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