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

The key decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must target - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely 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 make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
