The quantity of Liverpool players might you accommodate into your lineup this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched back-to-back wins , with a in-form attacker in their French frontman going into a clash with a struggling Wolves side currently tracking for a historically poor Premier League campaigns ever.

Should you have held onto some of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers , with the funds to reinvest following the injury to the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield players should be the main consideration.

This weekly selection is constructed using latest FPL valuations to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How Did The Previous Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the hot duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike led the selection to a respectable 82 points – supplemented by a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

Our Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, but they have kept two shutouts over their last four matches , boasting 9 to their name with less than half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a unexpected header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a three-pronged on the Gunners' backline.

They are the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton side that has drawn a blank in their past two games.

The South Coast club have only managed nine strikes across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a steady pick every week and has increased offensive potential since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has registered defensive contribution points in his past four appearances, including a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool assets this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score once again so far in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have only managed nine strikes in total, including two on the road. This is as safe a clean sheet bet available.

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

Despite Leeds United's improved goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout at home.

That would mark their third consecutive , with Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding value defensive pick. You can select him regularly in most games, due to his consistent defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger role at Manchester United in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United have generated the greatest xG statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side who have been poor away from home – managing a single victory in their last seven.

Mount may take over many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, potentially feature in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is poised for a big haul and a home match against the struggling Wolves presenting an ideal time for that to happen.

He has delivered returns in three out of his past four games – two assists and one 'defcon' display.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, and his xG is 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of producing a strike from half a yard of room inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge may appear a tough proposition, but Villa have won at that ground twice during recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, and having bagged a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker earns the captaincy this week.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, but because he has a tricky away game this week, we are opting to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
