Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees 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.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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