The key move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must target - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Success!
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.
Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset 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 was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
