Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven 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 - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, 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 AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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