Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you must target - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very 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 brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
