Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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