Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The key decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £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 chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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