Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could 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 option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

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 the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 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 top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
