Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

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

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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