Which Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The big move in this FPL team of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

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

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed 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 minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
