Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major decision in the FPL team of the week involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

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 games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

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

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
