🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week One key move in the FPL team of the gameweek is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! The budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history. Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence. The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Squad Perform? No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Boom! FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances. Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures. Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way 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 inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league. And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home) You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures. During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Picks Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have. Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be licking their lips. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad. Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up. He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted. This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON. He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches. Strikers Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United. He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
