How many Liverpool players might you accommodate in your team in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have notched two consecutive victories and boast a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with a struggling Wolves side that are on course for a historically poor top-flight seasons ever.

If you've held onto a portion of your AFCON transfers , with the budget to upgrade after losing the injured Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool players ought to be your top priority.

This ideal squad is constructed using present Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a 100 million pound spending limit, simulating using a Free Hit.

A Look Back at Last Week's Selection?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) , combined with the in-form pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike guided the squad to a respectable total – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

This Week's FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's backline had a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, yet they've kept two clean sheets recently , boasting nine to their name with not even half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three matches at home campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise header from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple-up on the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the top defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they host a Brighton team who have not found the net in two consecutive matches.

Brighton have a mere nine goals from eight away games.

Timber continues to be a reliable choice every week and has more goal threat now he is the full-back role.

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

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

I'd pick half a dozen Anfield assets for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion in 17 games in Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed nine goals all season, including two away from home. It represents a very secure clean sheet prospect imaginable.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

This would secure a third in a row and the Paraguayan defender becoming a prime value defensive pick. Managers can select him regularly in most games, due to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

Mount should play a significant responsibility at Old Trafford in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle side who have struggled in away matches – managing a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man may inherit a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and could feature in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves being the prime time for it.

He has delivered returns in three of his last four games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution display.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his expected goals is 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, the midfielder's form cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to scoring a strike from the smallest room inside the area.

A fixture to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have won at that ground on two occasions in the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker earns the captaincy this week.

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

There's no benching Haaland, however with him having a tricky fixture on the road this week, we are opting to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
