Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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