Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games 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 - Wolverhampton (h)

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

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded 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 excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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