What number of Liverpool players might you accommodate inside your team in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off two consecutive victories , with a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike going into a clash with Wolves that are tracking for one of the worst top-flight seasons ever.

Should you have held onto a few of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers and have the funds to reinvest by replacing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool picks must be your top priority.

The weekly selection is chosen based on latest Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a £100m budget, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

How Did Our Recent Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman led the selection to a respectable score – enhanced by a 10-point performance from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

This Week's FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence experienced a brief dip following an injury to Gabriel, yet they've kept two shutouts recently , with nine already with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three matches at home campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward and a unexpected header from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a three-pronged from the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the best defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has failed to score in their last two games.

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

The Dutch defender continues to be a steady pick every week , possessing greater attacking upside operating as the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in four consecutive appearances, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Anfield assets this week if the rules permitted.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion in 17 games during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed 9 strikes this campaign, including two on the road. It represents as safe a shutout prospect imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark a third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as the best budget defensive pick. You can start him with assurance in most games, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

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

Recently, United registered the best xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side who have been poor in away matches – managing one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man may inherit a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, potentially play behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a big haul and a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect scenario for it.

He has registered attacking returns in three of his last four games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, the midfielder's hot streak demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, who can producing a goal with half a yard of space inside the area.

A fixture to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a difficult assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground in two of recent years.

Strikers

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged five goals in three games, the French striker gets the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to dropping the Norwegian goal machine, however because he has a tricky away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
