Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
