Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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