Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL team of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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