Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

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

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
