The FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round
Keeper and Defenders
David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton (H).
Arsenal's defence experienced a slight stumble following an injury to Gabriel, however, they've recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches , with 9 so far with not even half the season gone.
The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.
Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) & Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), the Gunners – vs Brighton (H).
It's a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.
They are the best defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they face a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in their last two games.
Brighton have scored just 9 goals from eight matches on the road.
Timber remains a reliable pick every week , with more attacking upside now he is right-back.
Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points over his last four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.
Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
One could select six Liverpool players this week if allowed.
Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion in 17 games during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to the Bees.
The Midlands side have a paltry nine goals in total, with only a couple away from home. It represents a very secure clean sheet prospect available.
Omar Alderete, the Black Cats, £4m – vs Leeds (H).
Even with Leeds United's improved offensive form – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet at home.
This would secure a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming the best budget defender option. You can field him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for 'defcon' points.
Midfield
Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle United (H).
Mount is expected to take on a significant role for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.
Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the highest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against second-best Leeds United's 5.68.
They face a Newcastle United team that has not excelled away from home – managing a single victory from seven attempts.
The former Chelsea man could well assume a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly on set-pieces, and could operate in the number 10 role.
Florian Wirtz, the Reds, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
Wirtz is poised for a big haul , with a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves representing a perfect opportunity for it.
Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three out of his last four fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.
During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, while his expected goals is 0.88.
Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £7.2m – vs the Blues (A).
With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' current form is impossible to ignore.
He is Aston Villa's talisman, capable of creating a strike with half a yard of room inside the area.
An away trip to Chelsea could be viewed as a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have won at that ground twice during the past three seasons.
Forwards
Hugo Ekitike (Captain), the Reds, £8.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, coupled with notched five goals over three matches, the French striker earns the captain's armband this week.
Erling Haaland, City, £15.1m – vs Forest (A).
It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, however because he has a tricky away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him for captaincy.
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
