Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way 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 - Everton (h)

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
