Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

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

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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