Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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 Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

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

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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