Should you have held onto a few of your AFCON wildcards and have the cash to reinvest by replacing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, consequently assets from Anfield players ought to be the primary focus.

The team of the week is chosen based on present FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, mirroring activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Selection?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) and the hot pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman guided the selection to a respectable total – with a bonus a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

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

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a slight stumble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've secured two shutouts recently , with 9 already with not even half the season played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of matches at home campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected header 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 Arsenal backline.

Not only are they the best defence in FPL, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has drawn a blank in two consecutive matches.

Brighton have a mere 9 strikes from eight matches on the road.

Timber continues to be a solid option every week , with increased offensive potential now he is right-back.

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

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

One could select six Anfield players for this fixture if possible.

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion this season in Saturday's two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have a paltry nine goals all season, with only a couple away from home. This is a very secure shutout prospect possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third in a row and Alderete becoming an outstanding budget defensive pick. You can select him regularly across many fixtures, due to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a key responsibility for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, following Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest expected goals (xG) statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side that has struggled away from home – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man could well take over a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, and might operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is due a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves representing a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

He has delivered returns in three of his past four games – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, a team-high of any Liverpool, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, Rogers' hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a goal from half a yard of room inside the area.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge may appear a challenging assignment, but Villa have won there in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, a lack of rivalry for his place, coupled with bagged a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker receives the captain's armband for this round.

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

There's no benching the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a more difficult away game this week, the choice is to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
