Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

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

The Bench

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