🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek The key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland! Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League history. It's true, City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief. The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Lineup Perform? No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success! FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures. Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league. And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season. Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures. During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well. Midfielders Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have. No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, 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 FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be. You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up. He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton. Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored. This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches. Forwards Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches. However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward. Substitutes Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
