Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key call in the FPL team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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