🔗 Share this article Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week The major call in the FPL squad of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland! Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory. It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence. The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Squad Perform? No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Success! FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures. White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home) The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league. And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures. In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfielders Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners. With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up. He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON. He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home. Strikers Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h) It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds. He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
