How many Liverpool assets are you able to squeeze inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured a pair of triumphs , featuring a red-hot striker in their French frontman going into a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers who are heading towards a historically poor Premier League seasons on record.

Should you have retained some of your Africa Cup of Nations wildcards , and possess the budget to reinvest by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks must be your top priority.

This weekly selection is chosen using present FPL costs to comply with a 100 million pound budget, mirroring using a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (32 points) , combined with the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a solid score – supplemented by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's backline experienced a slight stumble after the absence of their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two shutouts recently , with nine to their name with less than the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three matches at home this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular effort from Richarlison , plus a unexpected header from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

As well as being the strongest defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in their last two outings.

Brighton have scored just 9 goals in eight fixtures away from home.

Timber continues to be a solid pick every week , with greater attacking upside now he is right-back.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, including two clean sheets.

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

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

Wolves were shut out for the 10th time this season in Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have scored just 9 goals this campaign, with only two on the road. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

That would mark their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as an outstanding budget defender option. You can select him confidently across many fixtures, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder should play a bigger responsibility for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Over the past three games, United have generated the greatest xG in the league by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United side that has struggled away from home – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, and might operate behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is due a big haul , with a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves representing an ideal time for it.

Wirtz has posted points in three of four recent games – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' hot streak is impossible to ignore.

He's Aston Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to scoring a goal with minimal space in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea could be viewed as a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have won there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker earns the captain's armband this week.

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

There's no dropping the Norwegian goal machine, but with him having a tougher fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to bet against him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
