Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 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 Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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