The quantity of Liverpool assets can you fit in your lineup this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched back-to-back wins and boast a sizzling attacker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a fixture with a struggling Wolves side who are heading towards an abysmal top-flight seasons in history.

Should you have held onto some of your AFCON free transfers and have the funds to spend after losing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool players should be the primary focus.

The weekly selection is assembled based on current Fantasy Premier League prices to fit within a 100 million pound cap, as if using a Free Hit.

How Did Our Recent Team?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , alongside the hot pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a solid total – supplemented by a 10-point contribution from Fulham's defender off the bench.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline experienced a slight stumble in the wake of the absence of their Brazilian defender, however, they've recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches , with 9 so far with not even the campaign's midpoint completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in all but three home games campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple-up on the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the best defence in FPL, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they host a Brighton side who have not found the net in two consecutive games.

Brighton have only managed 9 goals across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a solid choice each gameweek and has more attacking upside operating as right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, including two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out for the tenth occasion so far in Saturday's 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed nine strikes this campaign, including two away from home. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet bet imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

This would secure their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming a prime low-cost defender option. You can select him confidently across many fixtures, due to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a key part for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the highest expected goals (xG) in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United side who have not excelled on the road – with just a single victory in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to take over many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and might feature behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is due a big haul , with a fixture at Anfield against Wolves representing the prime scenario for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns across his past four fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

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

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

With 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's current form is impossible to ignore.

He's Villa's talisman, who can creating a strike from half a yard of space in the box.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge may appear a challenging assignment, the Birmingham club have won there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike earns the captaincy this week.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, although with him having a more difficult away game this week, I'm willing to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
