Our FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a brief dip following the absence of Gabriel, yet they've kept two shutouts recently , boasting 9 so far with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a long-range effort from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple-up on the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the strongest defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in more than half of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have drawn a blank in their last two outings.

Brighton have scored just 9 goals from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber continues to be a solid pick every week , possessing more attacking upside since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Liverpool assets this week if allowed.

Wolves drew another blank for the tenth occasion this season in a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed 9 goals in total, with only two on the road. It represents one of the safest clean sheet bet available.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – highlighted by their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

This would secure a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming an outstanding value defender option. Managers can start him regularly across many fixtures, given his consistent defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

Mount should play a bigger role for Manchester United in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best expected goals (xG) in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle team who have been poor away from home – managing one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, particularly on set-pieces, potentially feature behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score and a home match against the struggling Wolves representing an ideal scenario for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns in three of his past four games – two assists and one 'defcon' performance.

In that period he has created 10 chances, the highest of any his teammates, and his expected goals is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's main goal threat, capable of producing a goal from minimal room inside the area.

An away trip at Chelsea may appear a tough assignment, but Villa have won at that ground in two of recent years.

Forwards

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

Given his fixture, having no competition for a starting spot, coupled with bagged a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker earns the double-points role this week.

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

It is unthinkable to dropping Haaland, however with him having a tougher away game in this round, the choice is to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
