Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must target - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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