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

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders 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 selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
