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

One big call in the FPL squad of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to attack - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

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

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results 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 last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
