This ideal squad is assembled based on present Fantasy Premier League prices to stay under a £100m cap, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How Did Last Week's Team?

Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's backline experienced a minor wobble after an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two clean sheets in their past four and have nine so far with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple-up on the Arsenal defence.

Not only are they the strongest defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has failed to score in two consecutive matches.

Brighton have scored just nine strikes across eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a reliable choice each gameweek , possessing increased goal threat now he is right-back.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in his past four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love six Liverpool assets this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out for the 10th time in 17 games in a recent 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed nine goals this campaign, with only two on the road. That makes this one of the safest shutout prospect available.

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

Despite Leeds United's improved goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

It would be their third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender becoming the best low-cost defensive pick. You can field him regularly in most games, given his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a significant role for Manchester United in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the highest xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United team that has not excelled away from home – managing one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a big haul , with a home match against Wolves being a perfect opportunity for it.

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

Over that time he's made 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

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

He's Villa's key attacker, who can scoring a goal with minimal room inside the area.

An away trip at Chelsea may appear a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of competition for his place, coupled with bagged five goals over three matches, Ekitike gets the captaincy for this round.

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

There's no dropping Haaland, although because he has a more difficult away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
