Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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