Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key call in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
