Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) 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 chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
