In the absence of Bukayo Saka (£6.6m), Gabriel Martinelli (£4.1m), Gabriel Jesus (£3.7m) and Kai Havertz (£4.7m), Mikel Arteta named a front three of Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling (£1.7m) and Leandro Trossard (£3.9m).
However, after Nwaneri hit the woodwork twice, it seemed as if Arsenal were going to drop points against relegation-threatened opponents, something that may have all but ended their title challenge.
Mikel Merino (£3.3m) scored a brace off the bench and deserves plenty of credit for his effective showing as emergency striker but it was the Gunners' 17 year-old starlet who inspired the visitors to victory over Leicester at the King Power.
An assist was the least Nwaneri deserved and, thanks to Dream Team's bonus point system, he was duly rewarded for his talismanic performance.
Last week, we published an article detailing Nwaneri's potential and Dream Team managers who took a punt on the youngster were handsomely rewarded.
