Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major decision in the FPL team of the week involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) 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 rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
