Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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 one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
