Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two 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 Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues 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 excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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