Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
