Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One big move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

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

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season 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.

The Bench

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