Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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