Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The major move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you must exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

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

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable 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 striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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