The ideal squad is chosen based on present Fantasy Premier League valuations to comply with a £100m spending limit, mirroring using a Free Hit chip.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's backline suffered a brief dip after the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have recorded two shutouts recently , with 9 already with not even half the season completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward and a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple selection on the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the strongest defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they host a Brighton side who have failed to score in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 strikes from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a solid option each gameweek , possessing more attacking upside now he is the full-back role.

Hincapie has earned defensive contribution points over his last four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Anfield players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score once again this season during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals this campaign, including a couple on the road. This is as safe a clean sheet opportunity available.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

This would secure a third in a row , with Alderete becoming a prime value defensive pick. Managers can start him with assurance in most games, thanks to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant role for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, following Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest xG statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team that has been poor on the road – managing one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, and might play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is poised for a significant score , with a home match against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect opportunity for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns across four recent games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' display.

Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest of any Liverpool, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's current form cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's key attacker, capable of creating a strike with half a yard of room in the box.

A fixture to Stamford Bridge might seem a challenging assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

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

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

There's no dropping Haaland, although with him having a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
