Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning 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 missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
