BBC Sport's FPL team of the week features Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko, and Virgil van Dijk as top picks for gameweek 28. With the fantasy season entering its crucial stages, managers need to make every selection count as the window to recover from mistakes narrows. The team is built to fit a £100m budget using current player prices.

Bruno Fernandes captains the side after returning to his preferred number 10 role at Manchester United. The Portuguese midfielder has created 19 big chances - the most among midfielders - but has scored only six goals from 12 big chances. Erling Haaland returns to the lineup despite recent inconsistent form, facing Leeds at Elland Road where City's away performances have been mixed this season.

Caoimhin Kelleher gets the nod in goal for Brentford's favorable fixture run, while Diogo Dalot offers value at right-back for United. Budget-friendly picks like James Hill and Marcus Tavernier provide differential options with good upcoming fixtures. The selection emphasizes players with strong expected goals (xG) metrics, particularly Ekitike who ranks third in xG per 90 minutes at 0.52. This balanced squad combines premium assets with value picks to maximize points potential across the upcoming fixtures.
