🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week The big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland! The budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League history. Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence. This team of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Lineup Perform? No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success! FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches. White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league. And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches. More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games. During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfielders Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many. Arsenal will be licking their lips. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored. This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON. He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches. Attack Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home) It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds. He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
