Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major move in this FPL team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's 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, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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