Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is required to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £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 term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
