One major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
The funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.
Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
