Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The major call in the FPL squad of the week is to go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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