Our FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence had a minor wobble after the absence of their Brazilian defender, yet they've recorded two clean sheets in their past four and have nine already with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a late header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a three-pronged from the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have drawn a blank in their last two games.

Brighton have scored just nine strikes in eight away games.

Timber continues to be a steady option each gameweek and has greater goal threat now he is right-back.

Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points over his last four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool players this week if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again this season in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed 9 goals this campaign, including two on the road. That makes this a very secure clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's improved offensive form – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark their third consecutive and Alderete becoming a prime budget defensive pick. You can select him regularly in most games, thanks to his consistent defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant part at Old Trafford in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

In their last three matches, United registered the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle team that has been poor away from home – managing one win in seven.

Mount is likely to inherit many of the injured star's playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, and could operate in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a major point return and a home match versus the struggling Wolves being an ideal time for it.

He has posted points in three of his last four games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most among all his teammates, and his xG is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's key attacker, capable of producing a strike from the smallest room in the box.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have won there twice during the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, and having notched five goals in three games, the French striker earns the captain's armband this week.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a more difficult away game in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
