Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One big call in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
