Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The major call in this FPL lineup of the week involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal 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 so consistent for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
