The key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points. Success!
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal 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)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's generated 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 might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
