Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key call in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices 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 big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
