How many Liverpool assets can you accommodate into your team in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off back-to-back wins , featuring a sizzling striker in their French frontman going into a fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently tracking for one of the worst top-flight seasons on record.

If you've kept a few of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the funds to upgrade following the injury to the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield options must be your top priority.

The team of the week is constructed using latest Fantasy Premier League costs to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

A Look Back at The Previous Squad?

Captain Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , alongside the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a respectable 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

Our Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defenders

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

The North London side's defence experienced a slight stumble following the absence of Gabriel, but they have recorded two clean sheets recently , with 9 to their name before half the season played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a long-range effort from Richarlison and a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

They are the top defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has drawn a blank in their last two games.

The South Coast club have scored just 9 strikes across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender continues to be a solid pick every week and has greater goal threat now he is the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in four consecutive appearances, including a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield players this week if possible.

Wolves failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games in a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have scored just 9 goals all season, including two on the road. This is as safe a clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite Leeds United's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as the best budget defensive pick. Managers can start him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his potential for 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a significant part at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Recently, United have generated the greatest xG statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team that has been poor on the road – managing one win from seven attempts.

Mount may take over many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and could feature behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a major point return and a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves being a perfect time for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of his past four fixtures – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution display.

In that period he's made 10 chances, the highest of any his teammates, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's form cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's main goal threat, capable of creating a strike with half a yard of space in the box.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge may appear a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike earns the double-points role this week.

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

One cannot consider dropping the Norwegian goal machine, but because he has a more difficult away game this week, the choice is to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
