Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One key call in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

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

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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