For managers who held onto a portion of your AFCON wildcards , and possess the budget to upgrade following the injury to the injured Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool picks must be your top priority.

This ideal squad is chosen using present FPL valuations to comply with a 100 million pound budget, simulating you were playing a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Selection?

Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton (H).

The North London side's defence suffered a slight stumble after the absence of Gabriel, however, they've secured two shutouts recently , with 9 so far with not even half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three home games this season. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Richarlison and a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a triple-up from the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defence in FPL, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has not found the net in their past two matches.

Brighton have only managed 9 strikes in eight away games.

The Dutch defender is a steady option each gameweek and has greater goal threat operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points in his past four starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield players this week if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank for the 10th time so far in a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have a paltry 9 goals in total, including two on the road. This is a very secure shutout opportunity possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – highlighted by their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third in a row , with Alderete becoming an outstanding budget defensive pick. You can start him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger role for Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest expected goals (xG) in the league by over three goals – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle side that has not excelled on the road – managing one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man could well assume many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, and could operate in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves being the prime time for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three out of his last four games – two assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest of any Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, who can creating a strike from the smallest space inside the area.

A fixture at Chelsea might seem a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have won there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Given his fixture, a lack of rivalry for his place, coupled with bagged a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike gets the captaincy this week.

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

There's no benching the Norwegian goal machine, however because he has a tougher away game this week, the choice is to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
