🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek The major move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland! Our budget is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight history. Yes, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you must attack - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief. The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Team Do? No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success! Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action. Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches. White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league. And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches. Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures. In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h) This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored. This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches. Forwards Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games. However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds. He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
