Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home 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 fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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