Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal 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 kind of encounter you need to target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders 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 (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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 Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice 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 (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
