What number of Liverpool assets are you able to accommodate inside your lineup this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a red-hot attacker in their French frontman preparing for a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently heading towards an abysmal Premier League seasons on record.

For managers who held onto some of your AFCON wildcards and have the funds to spend following the injury to the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool players must be the primary focus.

The weekly selection is constructed using latest FPL prices to stay under a 100 million pound spending limit, as if activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Squad?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , alongside the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman guided the selection to a handsome score – supplemented by a double-digit performance from Fulham's defender off the bench.

The FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence suffered a brief dip following the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have kept two shutouts over their last four matches , with nine to their name before half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Richarlison and a surprise header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple-up on the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the best defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Brighton team who have failed to score in their past two games.

Brighton have only managed 9 goals in eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a steady choice every week , with greater offensive potential operating as the full-back role.

Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points in his past four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if possible.

Wolves drew another blank for the tenth occasion in 17 games in a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have a paltry 9 strikes in total, with only two away from home. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Even with Leeds United's better goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender becoming a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can select him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a significant responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best expected goals (xG) statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United team that has struggled in away matches – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man may take over many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, potentially play behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is poised for a significant score and a home match versus the struggling Wolves representing an ideal scenario for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns across his last four games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, the highest among all his teammates, and his expected goals is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's hot streak demands attention.

He is Villa's main goal threat, who can producing a strike from half a yard of room in the box.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge might seem a difficult assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker earns the captain's armband for this round.

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

There's no benching Haaland, however because he has a tougher away game in this round, the choice is to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
