Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any 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 rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
