If you've kept a few of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , with the cash to reinvest after losing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool picks should be the main consideration.

The weekly selection is constructed according to present FPL valuations to fit within a 100 million pound cap, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit.

Our Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence suffered a minor wobble following the absence of Gabriel, however, they've recorded two clean sheets recently , boasting nine so far before the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three matches at home campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison and a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple selection from the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the best defence in the game, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has not found the net in their last two matches.

Brighton have only managed nine strikes across eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable option every week , with increased goal threat since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned 'defcon' points in his past four starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool assets for this fixture if possible.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion in 17 games during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have a paltry nine strikes this campaign, with only two away from home. It represents as safe a clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's better goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

This would secure a third in a row and the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as the best budget defensive pick. You can start him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his regular 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a significant responsibility at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United boast the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side that has not excelled in away matches – managing a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and might operate in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a big haul , with a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves being an ideal scenario for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of four recent fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

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

He is Aston Villa's talisman, who can scoring a goal with minimal room inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have won at that ground on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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, Ekitike gets the captain's armband this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, however because he has a tougher away game this week, the choice is to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
