How many Liverpool selections are you able to fit in your lineup in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have secured two consecutive victories , featuring a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a fixture with Wolves who are on course for an abysmal Premier League seasons in history.

For managers who retained a portion of your AFCON wildcards , with the budget to upgrade after losing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, in that case assets from Anfield picks must be the main consideration.

The ideal squad is constructed according to present FPL prices to comply with a £100m cap, mirroring you were playing a one-week wildcard.

How Did Our Recent Squad?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) and the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman guided the selection to a respectable total – with a bonus a double-digit contribution from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

The FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence suffered a brief dip after the absence of their Brazilian defender, however, they've secured two shutouts over their last four matches and have 9 so far with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a surprise goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple selection on the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Brighton team who have drawn a blank in two consecutive games.

Brighton have scored just 9 strikes from eight away games.

Timber is a steady pick each gameweek and has greater offensive potential since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again in 17 games in Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have a paltry 9 goals all season, including a couple on the road. This is as safe a clean sheet bet possible.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's recent goalscoring upturn – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout at home.

That would mark a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as the best low-cost defender option. You can field him confidently in most games, given his regular 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a key responsibility for Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Over the past three games, United boast the greatest xG statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

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

Mount may assume a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, potentially play in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is due a major point return , with a home match against Wolves presenting the prime time for it.

He has posted points across four recent fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high of any his teammates, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's key attacker, capable of producing a goal with the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge might seem a challenging assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, coupled with notched five goals over three matches, Ekitike earns the double-points role this week.

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

There's no omitting Haaland, although because he has a more difficult fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
