Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

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

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this season, 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 minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
