The quantity of The Reds assets might you fit in your lineup in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off a pair of triumphs and boast a in-form striker in their French frontman going into a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently on course for an abysmal top-flight seasons ever.

For managers who retained a few of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers and have the funds to upgrade after losing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks should be the primary focus.

The ideal squad is chosen based on present FPL prices to comply with a £100m spending limit, simulating using a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Last Week's Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman led the team to a respectable score – supplemented by a double-digit contribution from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

Our FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's defence had a minor wobble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two clean sheets in their past four , with nine already before the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three home games campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple selection from the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has drawn a blank in their last two games.

The South Coast club have scored just 9 goals from eight matches on the road.

Timber remains a steady pick each gameweek , possessing more attacking upside since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points over his last four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool players for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the tenth occasion in 17 games in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have a paltry 9 goals all season, with only a couple away from home. That makes this one of the safest shutout prospect imaginable.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as the best budget defensive pick. You can field him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a key role for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best xG statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team that has been poor on the road – managing one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, and could operate in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a major point return , with a home match against the struggling Wolves representing the prime opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of four recent games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

In that period he has created 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' current form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a strike with minimal space inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea may appear a difficult proposition, but Villa have won there in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with bagged five goals in three games, the French striker gets the captaincy this week.

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

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

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
