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

The big call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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