The team of the week is assembled according to latest Fantasy Premier League prices to fit within a 100 million pound budget, simulating you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Our Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's defence had a brief dip in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, but they have recorded two shutouts over their last four matches , with nine already with not even the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three fixtures at the Emirates this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple selection on the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has not found the net in their last two games.

Brighton have only managed 9 goals from eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable option each gameweek and has greater goal threat now he is right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Anfield players for this fixture if allowed.

Wolves drew another blank once again this season in a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have scored just nine strikes all season, including a couple away from home. It represents as safe a clean sheet prospect imaginable.

Omar Alderete, Sunderland, £4m – vs Leeds (H).

Even with the Yorkshire club's better goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

It would be a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as a prime budget defensive pick. Managers can field him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his regular 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger part for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, United have generated the best xG across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side that has struggled in away matches – with just a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man could well take over a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, and could feature behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a big haul and a home match versus the struggling Wolves representing the prime scenario for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of his last four games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution performance.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form demands attention.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, with an ability to producing a goal from minimal room inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there in two of the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Given his fixture, a lack of competition for his place, and having notched a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker earns the captaincy for this round.

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

There's no benching Haaland, however because he has a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
