🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week One key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC. And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence. The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Team Do? The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom! FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances. Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures. White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella 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. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures. During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfielders Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential. No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that. Arsenal will be keen to attack. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad. Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h) Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder. Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON. He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches. Attack Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games. However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United. He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward. Substitutes Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
