Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key move in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

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

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad 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 Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

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

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking 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 well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
