How many Liverpool selections are you able to fit in your squad this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike going into a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are on course for a historically poor top-flight campaigns ever.

Should you have held onto a few of your AFCON wildcards and have the cash to reinvest by replacing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool options should be the main consideration.

This weekly selection is chosen using current FPL costs to fit within a 100 million pound cap, mirroring activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at The Previous Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (32 points) , combined with the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike led the squad to a handsome score – with a bonus a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

Our Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's backline suffered a brief dip after an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two shutouts over their last four matches , with nine so far with less than half the season gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three fixtures at the Emirates this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.

They are the top defence statistically, recording shutouts in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has failed to score in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have scored just nine goals across eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a steady option every week , possessing increased attacking upside now he is right-back.

Hincapie has earned 'defcon' points in his past four appearances, featuring two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Anfield assets for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games during a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have scored just nine goals in total, including a couple on the road. It represents a very secure clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite Leeds United's improved goalscoring upturn – including the performances of their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

This would secure their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can field him regularly in most games, due to his regular 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

Mount should play a significant role at Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team boast the highest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle team who have been poor in away matches – managing one win in their last seven.

Mount may inherit a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and might feature behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is poised for a significant score , with a home match versus Wolves being a perfect time for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of four recent games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, a team-high among all Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' hot streak is impossible to ignore.

He is Villa's key attacker, who can creating a strike with the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge might seem a challenging proposition, but Villa have won there in two of recent years.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, coupled with notched a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike earns the captaincy this week.

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

There's no dropping Haaland, but because he has a more difficult away game in this round, I'm willing to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
