How many Liverpool selections can you accommodate inside your lineup for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured back-to-back wins and boast a sizzling striker in their French frontman ahead of a clash with Wolves currently tracking for an abysmal top-flight seasons in history.

Should you have kept a few of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the cash to upgrade by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield options should be your top priority.

This ideal squad is assembled using latest Fantasy Premier League prices to fit within a 100 million pound cap, mirroring using a one-week wildcard.

A Look Back at Our Recent Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) and the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman led the squad to a handsome total – with a bonus a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

The Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's backline experienced a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, however, they've recorded two clean sheets recently , boasting 9 to their name with less than half the season played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in only three fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple-up from the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the top defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in more than half of their fixtures, they host a Brighton side that has failed to score in two consecutive outings.

The South Coast club have a mere nine strikes across eight fixtures away from home.

Timber continues to be a steady option each gameweek , possessing more goal threat operating as the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points over his last four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

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

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out for the tenth occasion in 17 games during a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have only managed nine goals in total, including two away from home. That makes this one of the safest shutout bet available.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – including the performances of their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third consecutive , with Alderete becoming an outstanding budget defender option. You can field him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger role at Manchester United in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, United have generated the highest xG across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle team that has struggled on the road – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man could well take over a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, particularly from dead-ball situations, potentially play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a big haul , with a home match against Wolves representing the prime opportunity for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three out of four recent fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

In that period he's made 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's hot streak demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, who can scoring a goal with the smallest space inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge might seem a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have won there in two of the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for his place, and having bagged five goals over three matches, Ekitike gets the captaincy this week.

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

One cannot consider omitting Haaland, however with him having a tougher fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
