Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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