Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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