Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key move in the FPL team of the week involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury 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, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United 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 times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
