Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can'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 matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

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

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
