Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

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

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds 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 goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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