Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

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

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
