Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

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

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
