The team of the week is assembled according to present Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a £100m spending limit, mirroring activating a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Team?

This Week's FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's backline experienced a minor wobble following an injury to Gabriel, however, they've kept two clean sheets recently , boasting 9 to their name with less than half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple selection on the Arsenal backline.

Not only are they the top defence statistically, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton team who have not found the net in their last two outings.

The South Coast club have scored just 9 goals across eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a steady choice every week and has increased offensive potential now he is right-back.

Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points over his last four appearances, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

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

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion in 17 games during Saturday's two-nil home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed nine strikes this campaign, with only a couple on the road. This is one of the safest shutout prospect possible.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

This would secure their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as the best low-cost defender option. Managers can field him regularly in most games, due to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a bigger part at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Recently, United have generated the highest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle side who have been poor on the road – managing one win in their last seven.

Mount could well inherit many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, and might feature in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is poised for a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect scenario for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three out of his past four fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, Rogers' current form cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's talisman, who can creating a strike with the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge might seem a tough assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there twice during the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, and having bagged a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the double-points role this week.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, although because he has a tricky away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
