Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

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

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
