Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The key move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select no City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must target - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind 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 (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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