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

The major decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to opt for no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must attack - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, 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 minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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