Which Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
