Which Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One key move in the FPL lineup of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any 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 fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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