Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
