The quantity of Liverpool assets can you accommodate inside your team in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched a pair of triumphs , with a in-form forward in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently heading towards an abysmal Premier League campaigns in history.

Should you have held onto a portion of your AFCON wildcards , and possess the funds to reinvest following the injury to the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool picks must be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is assembled using current FPL costs to stay under a 100 million pound cap, simulating using a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman guided the selection to a handsome score – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

Our FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defenders

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

The North London side's defence experienced a brief dip in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have kept two shutouts in their past four , with 9 so far with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple selection from the Arsenal backline.

As well as being the best defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have scored just nine strikes from eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable option each gameweek and has greater goal threat since returning to right-back.

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

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

I'd pick half a dozen Liverpool assets for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time this season during Saturday's two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have a paltry 9 strikes this campaign, including a couple on the road. This is one of the safest shutout bet possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – and the form of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

It would be a third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding value defender option. Managers can field him regularly across many fixtures, given his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger part for Manchester United in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the highest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side who have been poor away from home – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to take over a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, particularly on set-pieces, and might play behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a big haul and a home match against the struggling Wolves representing the prime scenario for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns in three of his last four games – two assists and one 'defcon' display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, Rogers' form cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's key attacker, capable of scoring a goal from half a yard of room in the box.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker gets the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to dropping Haaland, although with him having a tricky away game this week, the choice is to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
