Which Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (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 - the Cherries (home)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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