Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, 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, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
