Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

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

The funds are required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to target - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
