Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes 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 several routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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