Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno 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 Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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