Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

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

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning 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 playing time at centre-forward.
