Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated 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 players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

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

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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