Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One big decision in this FPL team of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

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

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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