Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key call in the FPL team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (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, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
