Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL team of the week involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
