Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive 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 bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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