Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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