Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

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

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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