Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole 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 soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. 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 the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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