The quantity of Liverpool selections are you able to squeeze inside your team for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured two consecutive victories , featuring a red-hot attacker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are tracking for one of the worst Premier League campaigns on record.

Should you have kept some of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , with the funds to upgrade following the injury to the injured Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield options should be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is chosen based on latest FPL prices to comply with a 100 million pound cap, as if you were playing a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Last Week's Squad?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman led the team to a handsome score – 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

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline suffered a slight stumble in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've recorded two shutouts in their past four , with 9 already with not even half the season played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in all but three home games this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple selection from the Arsenal defence.

They are the strongest defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they host a Brighton team who have drawn a blank in their past two games.

Brighton have scored just nine strikes across eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a steady option each gameweek and has more attacking upside since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points over his last four starts, including two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves drew another blank for the tenth occasion so far during Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals this campaign, with only a couple on the road. This is a very secure clean sheet prospect imaginable.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

It would be their third in a row , with Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding value defender option. You can select him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a bigger role for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best expected goals (xG) statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have been poor in away matches – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man could well take over many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might feature in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a significant score , with a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves presenting the prime scenario for that to happen.

He has delivered returns across his past four games – two assists plus a 'defcon' display.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, the midfielder's current form cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's talisman, who can creating a goal from the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip to Chelsea could be viewed as a difficult proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Because of his fixture, having no competition for his place, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, although with him having a tougher fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
