The big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.
This lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
