🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek One big decision in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland! Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history. It's true, City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC. And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence. The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Squad Fare? No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom! FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances. A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures. White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division. And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games. During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too. Midfielders Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that. Arsenal will be licking their lips. Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be. You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON. He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home. Attack Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h) Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds. He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role. The Bench Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
