Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers 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 fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
