Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced 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 most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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