Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. 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 Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was 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 challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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