Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start 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.

Substitutes
