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

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

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

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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