Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major call in the FPL team of the week is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

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

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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