🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek The big move in this FPL team of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland! Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history. Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief. The lineup of the gameweek is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Lineup Perform? No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success! FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches. White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league. And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures. During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners. With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware 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 flocking to sign him up. He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored. This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON. He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home. Strikers Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds. He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward. Subs' Bench Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
