Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

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

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
