Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One major call in the FPL squad of the week is to select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other 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 chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great 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 match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign 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 the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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