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

One big decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace 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 a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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