Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) 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 (h)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

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

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
