Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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 season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (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 players.

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

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option 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 (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
