Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

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

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

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

Subs' Bench
