Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The major call in this FPL lineup of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

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

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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