Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

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

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

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

The Bench

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