The major call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
