How many The Reds players might you squeeze into your squad this week?

The Merseyside club have notched back-to-back wins , with a in-form striker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with Wolves that are on course for a historically poor Premier League seasons in history.

Should you have held onto a few of your AFCON free transfers , with the funds to spend after losing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, then Liverpool options ought to be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is constructed according to latest Fantasy Premier League prices to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, simulating activating a Free Hit.

A Look Back at Last Week's Team?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) and the hot pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a solid total – supplemented by a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a slight stumble after an injury to Gabriel, but they have kept two clean sheets recently , with 9 already with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three home games campaign. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged on the Arsenal defence.

Not only are they the strongest defence in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has drawn a blank in their last two matches.

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

Timber remains a reliable choice every week and has increased goal threat operating as right-back.

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

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

I'd pick six Anfield assets this week if the rules permitted.

Wolves drew another blank for the tenth occasion this season during a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine strikes this campaign, with only two away from home. This is as safe a clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Even with Leeds United's improved offensive form – highlighted by their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third in a row and Alderete becoming an outstanding low-cost defender option. You can start him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder should play a bigger role at Manchester United over the coming fixtures, due to their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, United have generated the best xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United team that has not excelled away from home – with just one win from seven attempts.

Mount is likely to take over a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably from dead-ball situations, and could operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is due a big haul and a fixture at Anfield against Wolves presenting the prime time for it.

He has posted points in three of his last four games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' performance.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, a team-high among all Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

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

He is Aston Villa's talisman, who can producing a goal from the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge might seem a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have won there twice during recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with notched five goals in three games, Ekitike gets the captaincy this week.

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

There's no omitting Haaland, although with him having a tricky away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
