The quantity of Liverpool assets are you able to squeeze inside your team in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have secured a pair of triumphs , featuring a sizzling attacker in their French frontman going into a clash with Wolves who are heading towards an abysmal top-flight seasons in history.

Should you have kept a portion of your AFCON transfers , with the cash to upgrade after losing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, in that case assets from Anfield options should be your top priority.

The team of the week is constructed using present Fantasy Premier League costs to fit within a £100m cap, as if activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Squad?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) and the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman led the selection to a solid score – enhanced by a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a slight stumble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two clean sheets recently and have 9 to their name before the campaign's midpoint played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three matches at home this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

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

As well as being the best defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their matches, they face a Brighton team who have failed to score in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have a mere nine goals from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber continues to be a reliable choice every week , with increased attacking upside since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points in his past four appearances, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select six Liverpool players this week if the rules permitted.

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

The Midlands side have only managed nine strikes in total, including a couple away from home. That makes this as safe a clean sheet prospect available.

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

Despite Leeds United's better offensive form – including the performances of their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

That would mark their third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. You can start him with assurance in most games, due to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a bigger responsibility at Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with 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 welcome a Newcastle team that has not excelled on the road – with just a single victory in seven.

Mount could well take over a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably from dead-ball situations, potentially play in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a big haul and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves being a perfect time for that to happen.

He has posted points across four recent fixtures – two assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, a team-high of any Liverpool, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' form demands attention.

He is Aston Villa's main goal threat, who can scoring a strike with the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, a lack of rivalry for his place, coupled with notched five goals in three games, Ekitike receives the double-points role this week.

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

There's no benching Haaland, but because he has a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, I'm willing to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
