Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major move in the FPL squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

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

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
