One major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.
This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge 83 points. Boom!
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.
White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
