Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

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

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo 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 four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture 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 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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