How many Liverpool selections are you able to fit into your lineup for this round?

The Merseyside club have notched two consecutive victories and boast a sizzling forward in their French frontman preparing for a encounter with Wolves currently on course for an abysmal top-flight campaigns on record.

If you've kept a few of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the budget to reinvest following the injury to the injured Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool options ought to be your top priority.

The ideal squad is assembled using current FPL costs to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of Last Week's Squad?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) , combined with the hot pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the team to a respectable 82 points – supplemented by a 10-point cameo from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

Our FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a brief dip in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, yet they've secured two shutouts over their last four matches , boasting nine already before 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 Erling Haaland, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a three-pronged from the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have drawn a blank in two consecutive games.

The South Coast club have a mere nine goals in eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender remains a steady option every week , possessing more attacking upside now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected 'defcon' points in his past four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves drew another blank once again so far during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed nine goals all season, including two away from home. That makes this one of the safest shutout opportunity possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime value defender option. You can field him with assurance in most games, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a key part for Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, United registered the greatest expected goals (xG) in the league by over three goals – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle side who have struggled on the road – managing one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man could well inherit a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might operate behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a fixture at Anfield against Wolves representing an ideal time for that to happen.

He has posted points across his past four fixtures – two assists and one 'defcon' display.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, and his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's hot streak is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's talisman, capable of scoring a strike with half a yard of room inside the area.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge may appear a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in 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 his place, and having notched five goals in three games, Ekitike earns the double-points role for this round.

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

One cannot consider benching Haaland, but because he has a tricky away game this week, I'm willing to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
