Our FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a minor wobble after the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two clean sheets in their past four and have nine already with not even the campaign's midpoint played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three home games campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward and a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

They are the best defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Brighton side that has failed to score in two consecutive outings.

The South Coast club have only managed nine strikes in eight away games.

Timber continues to be a reliable choice every week , with more offensive potential now he is right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, including a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love six Liverpool assets for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves were shut out for the 10th time in 17 games in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed 9 goals this campaign, including two away from home. This is one of the safest clean sheet prospect possible.

Omar Alderete, Sunderland, £4m – vs Leeds (H).

Despite Leeds United's improved offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

It would be a third in a row , with Alderete becoming an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. Managers can field him with assurance in most games, given his regular 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a significant responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Over the past three games, United have generated the highest xG across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against the next best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United team who have not excelled on the road – with just one win in seven.

Mount may assume a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, and might play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is poised for a big haul , with a home match against Wolves being a perfect time for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns in three of his last four fixtures – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the most among all his teammates, while his xG is 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points over two matches, Rogers' hot streak demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of creating a goal from half a yard of room in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea could be viewed as a challenging proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Given his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, and having bagged a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike receives the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to benching the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a tricky away game in this round, the choice is to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
