Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big decision in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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 - Bournemouth (h)

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
