Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

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

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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