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

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

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

The Bench

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