🔗 Share this article Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week One key move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland! Our budget is required to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory. Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must target - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence. This team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Squad Do? The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success! FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances. Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures. White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-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 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign. Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games. In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well. Midfield Picks Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential. No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that. The Gunners will be keen to attack. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home) Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 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 sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up. He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored. This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home. Attack Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home) It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches. However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds. He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
