Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key move in the FPL team of the week is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could 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 solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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