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

One key decision in the FPL team of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
