Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One big call in the FPL lineup of the week involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must target - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
