Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

David Raya, Arsenal, goalkeeper, £6m – vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H).

Arsenal's defence had a slight stumble in the wake of the absence of their Brazilian defender, however, they've recorded two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine so far before half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) & Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), the Gunners – vs the Seagulls (H).

This week features a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the best defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have failed to score in two consecutive outings.

The South Coast club have scored just nine strikes across eight away games.

Timber remains a steady choice each gameweek and has increased attacking upside since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has collected 'defcon' points in four consecutive starts, which included two clean sheets.

Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

One could select half a dozen Liverpool players this week if allowed.

Wolves drew another blank for the tenth occasion so far in Saturday's 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have a paltry 9 strikes this campaign, including two away from home. That makes this a very secure clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's better goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

It would be their third in a row and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime value defender option. Managers can select him confidently across many fixtures, due to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a significant role at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best expected goals (xG) statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have been poor on the road – with just one win in seven.

Mount is likely to inherit many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially from dead-ball situations, potentially feature as an attacking midfielder.

Florian Wirtz, the Reds, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).

The German playmaker is due a significant score , with a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves being a perfect scenario for it.

He has delivered returns across his past four games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' performance.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, a team-high of any Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's form is impossible to ignore.

He's Villa's main goal threat, capable of producing a goal with minimal space inside the area.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge might seem a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the last three campaigns.

Forwards

Hugo Ekitike (Captain), the Reds, £8.9m – vs Wolves (H).

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, coupled with notched a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captaincy this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, although because he has a tougher fixture on the road this week, the choice is to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
