Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in this FPL team of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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