Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

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

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
