Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key decision in the FPL team of the week is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly 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 competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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