Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek is to opt for no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, 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 Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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