What number of Liverpool assets might you squeeze inside your team in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with a struggling Wolves side that are heading towards a historically poor Premier League campaigns ever.

Should you have kept some of your Africa Cup of Nations wildcards , with the budget to upgrade after losing the injured Bruno Fernandes, then Liverpool picks should be the main consideration.

This team of the week is assembled using current Fantasy Premier League prices to comply with a 100 million pound cap, simulating you were playing a Free Hit.

How Did Our Recent Squad?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman guided the selection to a solid score – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection 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 after an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches and have 9 already with not even the campaign's midpoint 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 Tottenham's forward and a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

They are the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have not found the net in their past two matches.

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

Timber is a solid pick every week , with more attacking upside since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has earned defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Liverpool assets this week if possible.

Wolves drew another blank for the 10th time so far in a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have scored just nine goals this campaign, with only two on the road. That makes this one of the safest shutout opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite Leeds United's recent offensive form – including the performances of their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can field him confidently across many fixtures, due to his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a key part for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team that has struggled in away matches – managing one win from seven attempts.

Mount is likely to assume many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and could feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is due a major point return and a home match versus Wolves presenting an ideal time for it.

He has registered attacking returns in three of his past four fixtures – two assists and one 'defcon' display.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' form demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, who can producing a goal from half a yard of space in the box.

A fixture at Chelsea may appear a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have won there on two occasions in recent years.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals in three games, the French striker gets the captain's armband this week.

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

There's no dropping Haaland, however because he has a more difficult fixture on the road this week, the choice is to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
