Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive 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 missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
