🔗 Share this article Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week The major call in the FPL squad of the week involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland! Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history. It's true, Manchester City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence. The lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Team Perform? The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom! FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches. Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league. And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season. Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures. In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Picks Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have. No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that. The Gunners will be keen to attack. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted. This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON. He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches. Forwards Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches. However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h) It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds. He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role. Substitutes Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
