Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in this FPL team of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

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

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

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

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
