How many The Reds selections can you accommodate inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched back-to-back wins , featuring a in-form striker in their French frontman preparing for a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently tracking for one of the worst top-flight campaigns in history.

If you've kept some of your AFCON wildcards , and possess the funds to upgrade after losing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield players should be your top priority.

The weekly selection is assembled based on present Fantasy Premier League costs to stay under a 100 million pound budget, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

How Did Our Recent Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) and the hot duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike propelled the team to a solid 82 points – enhanced by a 10-point performance from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

The Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline suffered a minor wobble after an injury to Gabriel, yet they've secured two clean sheets in their past four and have 9 to their name before half the season played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple selection on the Arsenal backline.

They are the top defence in the game, with a clean sheet in the majority of their fixtures, they face a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have a mere nine strikes in eight matches on the road.

Timber is a reliable pick each gameweek , possessing greater offensive potential operating as right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past 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 the rules permitted.

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

The Midlands side have a paltry nine goals all season, with only a couple on the road. That makes this a very secure shutout opportunity possible.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

It would be their third in a row and the Paraguayan defender becoming the best value defensive pick. You can start him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a significant responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side who have struggled in away matches – with just a single victory in seven.

Mount may take over a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and could feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a big haul and a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves presenting an ideal opportunity for that to happen.

He has posted points in three out of his last four fixtures – two assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period he has created 10 chances, the most among all his teammates, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form is impossible to ignore.

He's Aston Villa's main goal threat, capable of creating a goal with minimal space in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, and having bagged five goals in three games, the French striker gets the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, but because he has a tougher fixture on the road in this round, the choice is to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
