Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big move in the FPL team of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

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

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, 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 Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (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.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into 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 netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
