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

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

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

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
