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

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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