Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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