Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major call in the FPL team of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great 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 challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
