Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals 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 relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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