Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The big move in this FPL lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff 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 missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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