Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must target - the leading side in the league against one devoid 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 Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

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

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

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

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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