Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Attack

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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