Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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