What number of The Reds assets can you accommodate in your squad this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched a pair of triumphs and boast a sizzling attacker in Hugo Ekitike going into a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently tracking for a historically poor Premier League campaigns ever.

If you've held onto a few of your AFCON free transfers , with the budget to upgrade by replacing the injured Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool players must be the primary focus.

This weekly selection is chosen based on latest FPL prices to fit within a £100m cap, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Last Week's Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the hot duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a solid 82 points – with a bonus a 10-point contribution from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

The FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's backline experienced a slight stumble after an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've secured two clean sheets recently , with 9 to their name with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward and a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged from the Arsenal defence.

Not only are they the top defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they face a Brighton side that has drawn a blank in their past two games.

The South Coast club have scored just 9 goals from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a solid option each gameweek , with increased attacking upside operating as the full-back role.

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

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

One could select six Liverpool players for this fixture if allowed.

Wolves drew another blank for the 10th time this season during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed 9 strikes all season, with only two on the road. This is one of the safest shutout opportunity possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

This would secure a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as the best low-cost defender option. Managers can select him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a key role for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team registered the greatest xG in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United team who have not excelled in away matches – with just one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man may assume a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, potentially feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score and a home match against Wolves being a perfect scenario for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of his last four fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

In that period he has created 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

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

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, who can scoring a goal from half a yard of room in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a challenging assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the past three seasons.

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 scored five goals in three games, the French striker gets the double-points role for this round.

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

One cannot consider omitting Haaland, although with him having a tougher away game in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
