Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must target - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
