Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

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

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are erratic 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 opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
