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

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic 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 Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

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

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
