Which Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

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

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's generated 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 chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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