Should you have retained a few of your AFCON free transfers , with the cash to upgrade by replacing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, then Liverpool players ought to be your top priority.

This weekly selection is constructed based on latest Fantasy Premier League costs to fit within a 100 million pound budget, mirroring you were playing a one-week wildcard.

A Look Back at The Previous Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the selection to a handsome total – with a bonus a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

Our Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a slight stumble after the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have kept two clean sheets in their past four , with nine so far with less than half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in just a handful of home games this season. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a long-range strike from Richarlison , plus a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

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

Not only are they the top defence in FPL, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they take on a Brighton side that has not found the net in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have a mere nine goals from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber remains a solid choice every week , with increased attacking upside now he is right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in four consecutive appearances, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love six Anfield players for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank for the tenth occasion this season during Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have scored just 9 strikes this campaign, including a couple on the road. It represents a very secure clean sheet opportunity available.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

It would be a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. You can select him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a bigger responsibility at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with Bruno Fernandes out injured.

In their last three matches, United have generated the highest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side that has been poor in away matches – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man could well take over many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is poised for a significant score and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves presenting the prime opportunity for it.

He has delivered returns across his last four fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, while his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's hot streak demands attention.

He's Villa's main goal threat, capable of scoring a strike with half a yard of space in the box.

A fixture to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a challenging assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals in three games, the French striker receives the double-points role this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching the Norwegian goal machine, but because he has a tougher fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
