What number of Liverpool assets might you fit in your squad for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , with a red-hot forward in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with Wolves currently on course for one of the worst top-flight campaigns on record.

If you've held onto some of your AFCON free transfers and have the cash to reinvest following the injury to the injured Manchester United's playmaker, in that case Liverpool picks ought to be the main consideration.

This team of the week is assembled according to latest FPL valuations to fit within a 100 million pound cap, as if using a Free Hit chip.

How Did Our Recent Squad?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the hot pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the selection to a solid total – enhanced by a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

The North London side's backline experienced a brief dip after an injury to Gabriel, but they have recorded two shutouts in their past four , with nine to their name with not even the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

Not only are they the best defence in FPL, recording shutouts in the majority of their matches, they face a Brighton team that has failed to score in two consecutive games.

Brighton have only managed 9 strikes in eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender is a reliable pick each gameweek , with more goal threat operating as the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select six Anfield assets for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank for the 10th time in 17 games during a recent 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

They have only managed nine strikes in total, with only a couple on the road. It represents a very secure clean sheet prospect imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

That would mark their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as an outstanding budget defender option. Managers can field him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger role for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United registered the highest expected goals (xG) in the league by over three goals – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side who have been poor in away matches – with just a single victory in their last seven.

Mount is likely to assume many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, potentially operate behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a major point return , with a home match against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect scenario for it.

Wirtz has posted points across four recent fixtures – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest among all his teammates, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

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

He is Villa's main goal threat, capable of creating a strike with the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip at Chelsea may appear a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, and having notched five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband this week.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a tricky away game this week, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
