Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) 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 essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
