The quantity of The Reds selections might you fit into your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have notched back-to-back wins , with a sizzling forward in their French frontman going into a clash with a struggling Wolves side who are on course for a historically poor top-flight campaigns on record.

If you've kept a few of your Africa Cup of Nations wildcards and have the funds to reinvest by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks ought to be your top priority.

The team of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to stay under a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

How Did Our Recent Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike propelled the selection to a handsome total – with a bonus a 10-point contribution from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

Our FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a minor wobble after an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches and have 9 already with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple-up from the Gunners' defence.

They are the strongest defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they face a Brighton team that has failed to score in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have scored just nine goals from eight away games.

The Dutch defender continues to be a reliable choice every week and has greater goal threat operating as right-back.

The Ecuadorian has collected 'defcon' points in four consecutive starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Anfield assets for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score once again in 17 games in Saturday's two-nil home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have a paltry nine strikes this campaign, with only two on the road. That makes this as safe a shutout opportunity available.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

It would be a third in a row and the Paraguayan defender becoming a prime value defensive pick. You can start him with assurance across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger part at Old Trafford in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.

In their last three matches, United registered the greatest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team that has struggled on the road – with just a single victory in their last seven.

Mount could well assume a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, particularly from dead-ball situations, and could play behind the striker.

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

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

Wirtz has delivered returns across his last four fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' display.

In that period he has created 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, and his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, Rogers' hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's main goal threat, who can creating a goal with half a yard of space inside the area.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a difficult assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged five goals in three games, Ekitike earns the captain's armband this week.

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

One cannot consider benching the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a more difficult away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
