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

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This 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 Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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 game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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