Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in this FPL squad of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to target - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss 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 (home)

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

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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