Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances 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 could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He performed well 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.

Subs' Bench

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