The quantity of The Reds assets can you accommodate into your squad for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off a pair of triumphs and boast a sizzling forward in their French frontman preparing for a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently heading towards an abysmal Premier League seasons on record.

Should you have retained a few of your AFCON transfers , with the funds to spend following the injury to the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, consequently Liverpool options ought to be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is constructed according to current FPL costs to stay under a £100m spending limit, as if activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Last Week's Squad?

Skipper Erling Haaland (32 points) and the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a respectable total – supplemented by a 10-point cameo from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

Our Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defenders

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

The North London side's backline had a slight stumble after an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two shutouts recently and have nine so far with less than half the season completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.

They are the strongest defence in FPL, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has not found the net in their last two games.

The South Coast club have only managed nine goals across eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender continues to be a reliable pick each gameweek , possessing greater goal threat operating as the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points over his last four starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Liverpool assets this week if allowed.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion in 17 games in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have scored just 9 strikes all season, including a couple away from home. That makes this as safe a clean sheet prospect imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure a third consecutive , with Alderete becoming an outstanding low-cost defender option. You can start him confidently in most games, given his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant role at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro out injured.

In their last three matches, United have generated the greatest xG in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have been poor in away matches – managing a single victory from seven attempts.

Mount could well assume many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially from dead-ball situations, potentially feature in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is due a major point return and a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves representing the prime time for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of his last four fixtures – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

In that period he's made 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' form cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's key attacker, with an ability to producing a goal with half a yard of room inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a challenging proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with notched a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker receives the double-points role this week.

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

One cannot consider dropping the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a tricky fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
