Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a slight stumble following an injury to Gabriel, but they have kept two clean sheets recently , boasting nine so far with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of home games campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular effort from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

They are the strongest defence in the game, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they take on a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in their last two outings.

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

Timber is a reliable pick every week and has greater offensive potential now he is the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in four consecutive starts, including two clean sheets.

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if possible.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion this season during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals all season, with only a couple on the road. It represents one of the safest shutout bet imaginable.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime budget defensive pick. Managers can field him regularly in most games, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a key responsibility at Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Over the past three games, United have generated the greatest xG in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle team that has not excelled away from home – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man may take over many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and could feature in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is due a big haul and a fixture at Anfield against Wolves representing an ideal time for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of his last four fixtures – two assists and one defensive contribution display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's form cannot be overlooked.

He's Aston Villa's main goal threat, capable of scoring a goal with half a yard of room in the box.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have won at that ground twice during the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Given his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having scored five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband for this round.

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

One cannot consider dropping Haaland, however because he has a tougher away game this week, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
