Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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