Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The major move in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
