Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major call in this FPL team of the week is to select no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created 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 as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

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

Subs' Bench
