Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The big move in the FPL squad of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

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

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly 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 minutes at the number nine role.
