Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to target - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

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

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

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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