Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One major call in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves 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 chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

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 multiple ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
