Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to attack - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £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 all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

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

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £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 is capable of being.

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 team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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