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

The major call in this FPL lineup of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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