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

The major decision in this FPL lineup of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

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

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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