Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The key call in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

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

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
