What number of The Reds selections are you able to accommodate into your squad this week?

The Merseyside club are coming off two consecutive victories , featuring a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a clash with a struggling Wolves side that are on course for an abysmal top-flight campaigns in history.

Should you have held onto a portion of your AFCON wildcards , with the budget to upgrade by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield players must be the primary focus.

The weekly selection is chosen using latest Fantasy Premier League costs to fit within a £100m budget, mirroring using a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Squad?

Captain Erling Haaland (a massive haul) and the hot pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike propelled the squad to a handsome score – with a bonus a 10-point contribution from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a minor wobble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two clean sheets over their last four matches , boasting 9 so far with not even half the season gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a long-range strike from Richarlison and a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple-up from the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the top defence in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have not found the net in their last two games.

Brighton have a mere 9 strikes from eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a steady option every week , with greater offensive potential since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points in four consecutive appearances, including two clean sheets.

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

One could select half a dozen Anfield players this week if allowed.

Wolves failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games in Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have scored just nine goals in total, with only two on the road. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet opportunity available.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

This would secure their third consecutive , with Alderete becoming an outstanding value defensive pick. Managers can start him regularly across many fixtures, given his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a significant responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best expected goals (xG) in the league by over three goals – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle team who have struggled on the road – managing one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man may assume a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, and might feature behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score , with a fixture at Anfield against Wolves representing an ideal opportunity for it.

He has delivered returns in three of his past four fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, Rogers' form demands attention.

He is Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a strike with half a yard of space in the box.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge may appear a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have won there in two of recent years.

Strikers

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with notched a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker receives the captain's armband for this round.

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

There's no dropping Haaland, but with him having a more difficult away game this week, we are opting to bet against him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
