Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The big decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

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

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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