Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, 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 departing for the AFCON.

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

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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