Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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