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

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

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

This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (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 - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes 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 end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

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