What number of The Reds assets are you able to squeeze inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured two consecutive victories , with a in-form attacker in their French frontman going into a fixture with a struggling Wolves side who are tracking for an abysmal Premier League campaigns in history.

Should you have retained a portion of your AFCON wildcards , and possess the cash to spend after losing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, in that case assets from Anfield players must be the main consideration.

This team of the week is assembled based on current FPL prices to comply with a 100 million pound budget, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Squad?

Captain Manchester City's striker (32 points) , combined with the in-form pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the team to a respectable score – with a bonus a double-digit cameo from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

This Week's FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's defence had a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, yet they've kept two shutouts in their past four , boasting nine already with less than half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward and a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a three-pronged from the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the strongest defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Brighton side that has failed to score in their last two matches.

Brighton have only managed 9 goals from eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender is a reliable choice each gameweek and has greater attacking upside now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has registered defensive contribution points over his last four appearances, which included two clean sheets.

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

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

Wolves drew another blank for the 10th time so far in Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have a paltry nine goals in total, including two on the road. It represents one of the safest shutout opportunity possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure their third in a row and Alderete becoming a prime value defender option. Managers can select him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

Mount is expected to take on a key part for Manchester United in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Over the past three games, United boast the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team that has been poor away from home – with just a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man may inherit many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly on set-pieces, and might feature in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score , with a home match versus Wolves representing an ideal scenario for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns across his last four games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

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

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

After recording 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's current form cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's key attacker, capable of scoring a strike from half a yard of space inside the area.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge might seem a difficult assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there on two occasions in recent years.

Strikers

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

Because of his fixture, having no competition for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals in three games, the French striker earns the double-points role this week.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a tricky away game in this round, I'm willing to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
