Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

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

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

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is 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.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign 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 centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
