Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to exploit - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) 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 chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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