How many Liverpool assets are you able to accommodate inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have secured a pair of triumphs , with a sizzling striker in their French frontman ahead of a fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are on course for an abysmal Premier League campaigns ever.

Should you have held onto a few of your AFCON transfers and have the budget to reinvest following the injury to the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks ought to be the primary focus.

The ideal squad is constructed based on present FPL costs to comply with a £100m spending limit, simulating you were playing a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Squad?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike propelled the team to a respectable score – with a bonus a 10-point performance from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a brief dip following an injury to Gabriel, but they have recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches , with nine so far with not even the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in all but three home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a triple selection from the Gunners' defence.

They are the top defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has not found the net in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 goals from eight away games.

Timber remains a reliable pick each gameweek , possessing increased offensive potential now he is right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool assets for this fixture if allowed.

Wolves were shut out for the 10th time in 17 games in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have only managed 9 strikes in total, including a couple away from home. That makes this a very secure clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite Leeds United's recent offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

It would be a third in a row and the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can select him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger part for Manchester United in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes out injured.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team registered the highest xG across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team that has not excelled in away matches – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

Mount may take over many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, 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 poised for a significant score and a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves presenting the prime time for it.

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

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's form demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, with an ability to scoring a strike from the smallest space in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a challenging assignment, but Villa have won there in two of the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, and having notched a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband for this round.

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

One cannot consider omitting Haaland, but because he has a tricky fixture on the road this week, we are opting to bet against him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
