Our FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H).

Arsenal's defence suffered a brief dip in the wake of the absence of their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two clean sheets recently and have 9 already with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in all but three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a long-range effort from Richarlison and a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) and Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), Arsenal – vs Brighton (H).

This week features a three-pronged on the Arsenal defence.

Not only are they the best defence statistically, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have not found the net in their past two games.

Brighton have a mere nine strikes across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender continues to be a steady pick every week and has increased offensive potential since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in his past four appearances, including a pair of shutouts.

Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool, £5.9m – vs Wolves (H).

Managers would love half a dozen Liverpool assets for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out once again this season during Saturday's two-nil home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have only managed nine goals in total, with only two away from home. That makes this as safe a shutout prospect imaginable.

Omar Alderete, the Black Cats, £4m – vs Leeds United (H).

Regardless of Leeds United's better offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure a third in a row and Alderete is cementing himself as a prime value defensive pick. Managers can start him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle United (H).

The English midfielder should play a key part for Old Trafford in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, United registered the best expected goals (xG) statistically by over three goals – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team that has been poor in away matches – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

Mount could well assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, potentially feature in the number 10 role.

Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.1m – vs Wolves (H).

Wirtz is due a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves representing a perfect time for it.

He has posted points across his past four games – two assists and one 'defcon' performance.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, and his expected goals totals 0.88.

Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £7.2m – vs Chelsea (A).

With 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's current form cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, who can producing a goal with minimal space in the box.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge may appear a tough proposition, but Villa have won there twice during the past three seasons.

Forwards

Hugo Ekitike (Captain), Liverpool, £8.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

Given his fixture, having no competition for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals over three matches, Ekitike gets the double-points role this week.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City, £15.1m – vs Nottingham Forest (A).

It is unthinkable to omitting the Norwegian goal machine, however because he has a tougher fixture on the road in this round, the choice is to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
