Our FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round
Goalkeeper & Defence
David Raya, Arsenal, goalkeeper, £6m – vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H).
Arsenal's defence experienced a slight stumble after the absence of Gabriel, however, they've kept two shutouts recently , boasting nine to their name with not even half the season played.
Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three home games this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a late header from Tolu Arokodare.
Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) & Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), the Gunners – vs the Seagulls (H).
This week features a three-pronged on the Arsenal defence.
Not only are they the top defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have not found the net in two consecutive games.
The South Coast club have a mere 9 strikes from eight matches on the road.
Timber continues to be a reliable option every week , possessing increased attacking upside now he is right-back.
The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points over his last four starts, which included two clean sheets.
Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
One could select half a dozen Anfield players for this fixture if the rules permitted.
Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion this season during Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.
They have scored just 9 strikes all season, including two on the road. This is a very secure shutout bet available.
Omar Alderete, Sunderland, £4m – vs Leeds United (H).
Despite the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout on home soil.
This would secure their third in a row , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding budget defensive pick. Managers can select him with assurance in most games, given his consistent 'defcon' points.
Midfield
Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle United (H).
Mount will likely assume a bigger part for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.
In their last three matches, United boast the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by over three goals – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.
Their opponents are a Newcastle side who have not excelled away from home – managing one win in seven.
The former Chelsea man could well take over many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, potentially operate as an attacking midfielder.
Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
Wirtz is due a significant score , with a home match against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect scenario for it.
Wirtz has delivered returns across four recent fixtures – two assists and one defensive contribution display.
In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high among all Liverpool, while his xG is 0.88.
Morgan Rogers, Villa, £7.2m – vs Chelsea (A).
With 30 points in two games, Rogers' hot streak is impossible to ignore.
He is Villa's key attacker, with an ability to producing a strike with minimal space inside the area.
A fixture at Chelsea could be viewed as a challenging assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the past three seasons.
Strikers
Hugo Ekitike (Captain), the Reds, £8.9m – vs Wolves (H).
Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, coupled with bagged a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike gets the captaincy for this round.
Erling Haaland, Manchester City, £15.1m – vs Nottingham Forest (A).
It is unthinkable to omitting the Norwegian goal machine, however because he has a tricky away game in this round, I'm willing to bet against him for the armband.
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
