Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The key call in the FPL lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £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 games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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