What number of Liverpool selections might you squeeze into your team in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have secured back-to-back wins , featuring a red-hot striker in Hugo Ekitike going into a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are heading towards a historically poor Premier League seasons on record.

Should you have kept a portion of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the budget to reinvest by replacing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, then assets from Anfield picks ought to be the main consideration.

This ideal squad is assembled according to current FPL valuations to comply with a £100m budget, mirroring activating a Free Hit.

A Look Back at The Previous Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman led the team to a respectable total – supplemented by a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

Our FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence experienced a brief dip in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, yet they've kept two shutouts recently , boasting nine to their name with not even half the season gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in all but three matches at home campaign. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton team that has failed to score in two consecutive matches.

The South Coast club have only managed nine strikes in eight away games.

Timber is a solid pick each gameweek , possessing greater offensive potential since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in his past four starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank for the 10th time so far in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have a paltry nine strikes all season, including two away from home. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet bet possible.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

This would secure their third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as a prime value defender option. You can start him regularly in most games, thanks to his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant responsibility for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, United registered the highest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team that has not excelled away from home – with just one win in seven.

Mount is likely to take over many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and might feature behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves being a perfect time for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of his past four games – two assists and one 'defcon' display.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, a team-high of any his teammates, and his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's form demands attention.

He's Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a goal with minimal room inside the area.

An away trip at Chelsea could be viewed as a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for his place, coupled with bagged five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the double-points role this week.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, however because he has a more difficult away game in this round, the choice is to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
