How many Liverpool assets might you squeeze inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , with a red-hot striker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with a struggling Wolves side who are tracking for a historically poor Premier League seasons ever.

Should you have held onto a few of your AFCON transfers and have the funds to reinvest by replacing the injured Bruno Fernandes, consequently assets from Anfield picks ought to be your top priority.

This weekly selection is constructed based on current FPL valuations to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, simulating using a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the squad to a handsome 82 points – supplemented by a 10-point contribution from Fulham's defender off the bench.

Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's backline had a minor wobble following the absence of Gabriel, but they have recorded two shutouts over their last four matches , with 9 so far with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

As well as being the top defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have drawn a blank in their last two outings.

Brighton have a mere 9 goals across eight away games.

Timber continues to be a reliable option every week , with more offensive potential operating as right-back.

The Ecuadorian has registered 'defcon' points in four consecutive starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield players for this fixture if possible.

Wolves were shut out once again so far in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed nine strikes in total, with only a couple on the road. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity available.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure a third consecutive , with Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding value defender option. You can field him confidently across many fixtures, given his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant role at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the greatest xG across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team that has struggled in away matches – with just one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, potentially operate in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a major point return and a home match versus Wolves presenting the prime time for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns in three out of his last four games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

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

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

With 30 points in two games, the midfielder's form demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's talisman, capable of scoring a goal from minimal room in the box.

An away trip to Chelsea may appear a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with notched five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband for this round.

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

There's no dropping the Norwegian goal machine, but because he has a tricky fixture on the road in this round, I'm willing to bet against him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
