A Look Back at Our Recent Team?

This Week's FPL Team of the Week for Matchday 18

Keeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's defence had a minor wobble after the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have kept two clean sheets recently and have nine so far before the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a late header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple-up from the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they face a Brighton side who have not found the net in two consecutive outings.

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

Timber is a steady option each gameweek and has greater goal threat now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, including two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love six Anfield players this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out once again in 17 games during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have only managed 9 goals all season, with only two away from home. That makes this a very secure shutout bet possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure their third in a row , with Alderete establishing himself as a prime value defensive pick. Managers can field him regularly in most games, given his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a key responsibility at Manchester United in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the highest xG in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle team who have been poor in away matches – managing a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man may assume many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, and could play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a major point return and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves being a perfect time for that to happen.

Wirtz has posted points in three out of his last four fixtures – two assists and one 'defcon' performance.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, a team-high of any his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

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

He is Aston Villa's talisman, who can creating a goal with the smallest space in the box.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have won at that ground in two of recent years.

Strikers

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, coupled with bagged five goals over three matches, the French striker receives the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a tougher fixture on the road in this round, the choice is to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
