Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United enter 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 netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

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

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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