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

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select no City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff 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 was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
