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

One major call in the FPL lineup of the week involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season 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.

Substitutes

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