Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One major call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester 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 occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
