What number of The Reds selections might you squeeze in your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a red-hot striker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with Wolves that are tracking for one of the worst top-flight seasons ever.

For managers who kept some of your AFCON transfers and have the funds to reinvest after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool picks should be the main consideration.

This weekly selection is constructed using latest FPL prices to comply with a 100 million pound budget, simulating activating a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Squad?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) , combined with the hot pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a respectable total – with a bonus a 10-point cameo from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

The FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

The North London side's backline had a slight stumble in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, but they have secured two shutouts in their past four , boasting 9 to their name before the campaign's midpoint played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward and a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

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

They are the top defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has not found the net in their last two outings.

Brighton have scored just 9 strikes across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender continues to be a solid option each gameweek and has greater offensive potential since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has collected 'defcon' points in four consecutive starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

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

Wolves failed to score once again so far during a recent 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have a paltry nine strikes in total, including two away from home. It represents a very secure clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender becoming the best low-cost defensive pick. Managers can select him confidently in most games, given his consistent defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a key role for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with Bruno Fernandes out injured.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the greatest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side that has not excelled on the road – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man may take over a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, particularly on set-pieces, and might operate behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a big haul , with a home match against Wolves representing an ideal opportunity for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three out of his past four games – two assists and one 'defcon' performance.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, and his xG is 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of creating a goal from the smallest space inside the area.

An away trip to Chelsea could be viewed as a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have won there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of rivalry for his place, coupled with scored a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker gets the double-points role this week.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, but because he has a more difficult away game in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
