Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

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

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack 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 surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
