Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The big move in this FPL squad of the week is to go with no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
