Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL team of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - 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 attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could 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, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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