Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One key move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

The Bench

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