Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key decision in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players 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)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, 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 United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
