Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The major decision in this FPL squad of the week involves go with zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

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

The Bench

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