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

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

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

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

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 rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single 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 created more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

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

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

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
