Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major move in this FPL squad of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first 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 all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning 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.

Substitutes

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