Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One key call in the FPL lineup of the week is to select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

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

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed great 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 competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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