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

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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