🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek The major call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland! The funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory. It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC. And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to target - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence. The squad of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did The Previous Team Perform? No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom! Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures. White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h) Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign. Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games. During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder. Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in. He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted. This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON. He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home. Forwards Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches. However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds. He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
