Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances 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 Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

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

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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