What number of The Reds players are you able to accommodate in your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured back-to-back wins and boast a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers who are tracking for a historically poor top-flight seasons on record.

Should you have retained some of your Africa Cup of Nations wildcards , with the budget to spend by replacing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, in that case assets from Anfield players ought to be your top priority.

The team of the week is chosen based on latest FPL valuations to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, as if using a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) and the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman guided the team to a respectable total – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence had a minor wobble after an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches and have 9 so far with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three matches at home campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward and a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple selection from the Arsenal backline.

As well as being the top defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has failed to score in their last two outings.

Brighton have only managed nine goals from eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender is a reliable option every week , possessing greater goal threat now he is the full-back role.

Hincapie has earned defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick six Anfield assets for this fixture if possible.

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

The Midlands side have only managed 9 goals all season, including two on the road. It represents a very secure clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Even with Leeds United's recent offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure a third in a row and Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding value defender option. You can select him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant part at Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team boast the greatest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team who have not excelled in away matches – managing a single victory in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man may take over many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score and a home match against the struggling Wolves representing an ideal time for that to happen.

He has posted points in three out of four recent games – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

In that period he's made 10 chances, the highest among all his teammates, and his expected goals is 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's current form cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's key attacker, with an ability to scoring a goal from the smallest space in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea could be viewed as a difficult assignment, but Villa have won there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for his place, coupled with bagged a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband this week.

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

One cannot consider dropping the Norwegian goal machine, but with him having a tricky away game in this round, the choice is to bet against him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
