Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

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

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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 Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
