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

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must target - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting 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 Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways 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 know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
