What number of The Reds selections are you able to fit in your lineup in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club are coming off two consecutive victories , featuring a sizzling striker in their French frontman ahead of a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently heading towards a historically poor top-flight campaigns ever.

If you've retained a portion of your AFCON transfers , and possess the budget to upgrade after losing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield options ought to be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is chosen based on present FPL prices to comply with a £100m cap, simulating activating a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Team?

Captain Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , alongside the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman guided the team to a handsome score – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Fulham's defender off the bench.

This Week's FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's defence experienced a minor wobble following the absence of Gabriel, but they have secured two shutouts over their last four matches , with nine to their name with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three fixtures at the Emirates this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the top defence in FPL, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they face a Brighton team that has failed to score in their past two games.

Brighton have only managed nine goals from eight matches on the road.

Timber is a reliable pick each gameweek , with greater goal threat now he is right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned 'defcon' points over his last four appearances, including a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Liverpool players this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again this season during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have scored just nine goals all season, with only two on the road. This is a very secure shutout opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

That would mark a third consecutive and Alderete is cementing himself as a prime low-cost defender option. You can start him regularly across many fixtures, due to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a significant responsibility at Manchester United in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Recently, United registered the greatest expected goals (xG) statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side that has struggled away from home – managing one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man may take over many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and might play as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a big haul and a home match versus the struggling Wolves representing the prime opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has posted points across his last four games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form demands attention.

He is Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to creating a goal from half a yard of room inside the area.

An away trip at Chelsea may appear a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have won there on two occasions in the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, and having scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the captaincy this week.

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

One cannot consider dropping the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a tougher away game this week, I'm willing to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
