Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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 conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up 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 promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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