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

The Merseyside club have secured two consecutive victories , featuring a sizzling striker in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are on course for a historically poor top-flight campaigns in history.

If you've held onto a portion of your AFCON wildcards and have the funds to reinvest by replacing the injured Bruno Fernandes, then Liverpool players must be the main consideration.

This ideal squad is constructed based on current Fantasy Premier League valuations to comply with a 100 million pound budget, mirroring activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at The Previous Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , alongside the productive pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman propelled the squad to a handsome total – with a bonus a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

This Week's FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a slight stumble following the absence of Gabriel, however, they've recorded two shutouts recently , boasting 9 to their name with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three matches at home campaign. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a three-pronged from the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the top defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton team that has not found the net in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have only managed nine goals across eight away games.

Timber is a reliable option every week , possessing greater offensive potential now he is the full-back role.

Hincapie has earned 'defcon' points over his last four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select six Liverpool assets for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again so far in Saturday's 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

They have only managed 9 strikes in total, including a couple away from home. This is one of the safest clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Even with Leeds United's better offensive form – highlighted by their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure their third in a row , with Alderete is cementing himself as a prime budget defender option. Managers can start him regularly across many fixtures, due to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a bigger role at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United side that has been poor away from home – with just one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man may assume a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, and might play behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a big haul , with a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect time for it.

He has posted points across his last four games – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's talisman, capable of producing a strike from the smallest room inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea may appear a difficult proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious there in two of recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, and having bagged five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the captaincy this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, although with him having a tricky fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
