How many The Reds assets are you able to squeeze inside your team in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured back-to-back wins , featuring a red-hot attacker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with Wolves that are heading towards one of the worst Premier League campaigns on record.

For managers who retained a portion of your AFCON free transfers and have the cash to spend following the injury to the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield options should be your top priority.

This weekly selection is constructed based on present Fantasy Premier League prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman led the squad to a solid 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit contribution from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

The FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's backline experienced a slight stumble after an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two clean sheets recently , boasting 9 already with less than half the season gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in just a handful of home games campaign. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a long-range effort from Richarlison , plus a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

They are the strongest defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they take on a Brighton team who have not found the net in their past two games.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 strikes from eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a reliable option every week , with more goal threat since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, including two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love six Anfield assets this week if possible.

Wolves were shut out for the 10th time this season in a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have a paltry nine goals all season, with only two away from home. This is as safe a shutout opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite Leeds United's improved offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

This would secure their third consecutive and Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding budget defender option. Managers can select him confidently in most games, thanks to his regular 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a bigger role at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United have generated the highest xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle side who have been poor away from home – with just a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man may assume many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, and could feature in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is due a major point return , with a home match against Wolves being a perfect time for that to happen.

He has delivered returns in three of four recent fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' performance.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, a team-high among all Liverpool, and his expected goals is 0.88.

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

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

He is Villa's main goal threat, who can producing a strike with the smallest space inside the area.

An away trip to Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, but Villa have won there in two of the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for his place, and having notched five goals over three matches, the French striker receives the double-points role for this round.

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

There's no benching the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a more difficult fixture on the road this week, the choice is to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
