Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
