Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Hugo Ekitike led the team to a respectable score – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's backline experienced a minor wobble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches and have 9 already with less than the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison , plus a late header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a three-pronged from the Arsenal backline.

As well as being the best defence in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has drawn a blank in their last two outings.

The South Coast club have scored just 9 strikes across eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender continues to be a solid choice every week , with increased goal threat operating as right-back.

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

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

One could select six Liverpool players this week if allowed.

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion this season during a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have a paltry nine goals all season, including a couple away from home. That makes this a very secure clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third in a row and Alderete is cementing himself as the best value defensive pick. You can field him regularly in most games, due to his consistent defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

Mount should play a significant role at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, United boast the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 against second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team that has struggled on the road – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, and could feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a major point return , with a home match against Wolves presenting an ideal scenario for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns across his last four fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

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

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

An away trip to Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have won there in two of the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for a starting spot, and having notched a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker receives the captaincy this week.

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

One cannot consider benching the Norwegian goal machine, but with him having a tricky away game this week, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
