Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

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

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

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

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 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 missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
