Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget 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 Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
