Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
