Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know 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 flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
