đŸ”— Share this article Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland! The funds are required to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history. It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief. This lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Squad Fare? The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom! FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action. Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six matches. Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home) You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches. More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures. During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfield Picks Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many. Arsenal will be keen to attack. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) One 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 Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) 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 several ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in. He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted. This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON. He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home. Forwards Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h) Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds. He performed strongly 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. The Bench Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
