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

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

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just 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 opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal 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 consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

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 minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
