Our Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence experienced a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, yet they've kept two clean sheets in their past four , with 9 already before the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three fixtures at the Emirates this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward and a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple-up on the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defence statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has failed to score in their last two matches.

The South Coast club have a mere 9 goals in eight away games.

The Dutch defender is a solid choice every week , possessing increased attacking upside operating as the full-back role.

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

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

I'd pick six Liverpool assets this week if possible.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion this season during a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed nine strikes in total, with only a couple on the road. It represents as safe a clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

That would mark their third in a row , with Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding value defensive pick. Managers can start him confidently across many fixtures, given his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger responsibility for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Over the past three games, United boast the best expected goals (xG) statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side that has not excelled on the road – managing a single victory in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man could well inherit many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, and might play behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a significant score and a home match against Wolves being the prime opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of his past four games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period he has created 10 chances, a team-high among all Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to producing a strike with the smallest room inside the area.

A fixture at Chelsea could be viewed as a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have won at that ground twice during recent years.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals in three games, Ekitike earns the captain's armband this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a tricky fixture on the road in this round, I'm willing to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
