What number of Liverpool players can you squeeze into your team in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have secured back-to-back wins , with a in-form attacker in their French frontman preparing for a encounter with a struggling Wolves side who are tracking for one of the worst top-flight campaigns in history.

Should you have retained a portion of your AFCON free transfers , with the cash to spend following the injury to the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks ought to be your top priority.

The team of the week is chosen using present Fantasy Premier League prices to fit within a £100m cap, as if activating a one-week wildcard.

How Did Last Week's Squad?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman led the squad to a respectable score – supplemented by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

The FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's defence had a slight stumble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have recorded two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine so far with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home this season. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a late header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple selection on the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the strongest defence statistically, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has failed to score in their past two games.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 goals in eight matches on the road.

Timber continues to be a steady pick every week , with increased goal threat operating as right-back.

Hincapie has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, including two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love six Anfield assets for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the tenth occasion this season during a recent 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have a paltry 9 goals all season, including a couple away from home. That makes this a very secure clean sheet prospect imaginable.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's recent offensive form – including the performances of their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland shutout at home.

That would mark a third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as a prime budget defensive pick. Managers can start him confidently in most games, due to his regular 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a significant role at Manchester United over the coming fixtures, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, United have generated the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side who have been poor away from home – with just one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly on set-pieces, and might feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score and a home match versus the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect scenario for it.

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

During that spell he's made 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, who can creating a strike from minimal room in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there in two of recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having notched five goals over three matches, Ekitike earns the captain's armband for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, but with him having a more difficult fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
