Captain Erling Haaland (32 points) and the hot duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a solid 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

Our Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's backline experienced a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of their Brazilian defender, however, they've kept two clean sheets recently and have 9 to their name with less than half the season played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward and a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple-up from the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in their past two games.

The South Coast club have only managed nine goals across eight fixtures away from home.

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

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield assets this week if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again in 17 games during a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have scored just nine strikes this campaign, including two away from home. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming a prime budget defender option. You can field him confidently across many fixtures, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a key responsibility at Old Trafford in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Recently, United boast the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side that has not excelled away from home – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, particularly on set-pieces, and might operate in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a home match against Wolves being an ideal scenario for that to happen.

He has posted points in three out of his last four fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points over two matches, Rogers' hot streak demands attention.

He's Villa's main goal threat, who can creating a goal from the smallest space inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge might seem a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, coupled with notched a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker earns the double-points role this week.

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

One cannot consider benching Haaland, however because he has a tricky away game this week, we are opting to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
