Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
