Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big decision in the FPL squad of the week is to select zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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 six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities 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 could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace 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 challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
