Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

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

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
