Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 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 expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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