The Fantasy Premier League Selection for Gameweek 18

Keeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, but they have secured two shutouts over their last four matches and have nine to their name before half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three home games this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison and a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple-up from the Arsenal backline.

They are the best defence statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they host a Brighton side who have failed to score in their last two matches.

The South Coast club have a mere 9 strikes across eight away games.

Timber is a reliable pick each gameweek and has more attacking upside operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points over his last four starts, including two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Liverpool players this week if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out once again so far in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have only managed nine goals this campaign, including two away from home. It represents one of the safest clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – and the form of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

That would mark a third in a row , with Alderete becoming a prime value defensive pick. You can start him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant role at Old Trafford in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Recently, United have generated the best expected goals (xG) statistically by over three goals – 8.78 against the next best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United team that has struggled on the road – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

Mount may inherit many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, potentially feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves being an ideal opportunity for it.

He has delivered returns across four recent games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution display.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a goal from half a yard of space in the box.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge might seem a tough proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious there on two occasions in recent years.

Strikers

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

Due to his fixture, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the double-points role this week.

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

One cannot consider omitting Haaland, but with him having a more difficult fixture on the road this week, the choice is to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
