What number of Liverpool assets can you accommodate in your team for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured a pair of triumphs , featuring a sizzling forward in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a clash with Wolves that are on course for one of the worst Premier League campaigns on record.

If you've retained a portion of your AFCON transfers , with the cash to reinvest following the injury to the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, consequently Liverpool options should be your top priority.

The team of the week is chosen according to present Fantasy Premier League valuations to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

A Look Back at The Previous Team?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (32 points) , alongside the in-form pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman propelled the selection to a handsome 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's backline suffered a slight stumble following an injury to Gabriel, yet they've recorded two shutouts in their past four and have nine so far before half the season completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in just a handful of home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Richarlison and a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple selection from the Gunners' defence.

They are the best defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have not found the net in their past two matches.

Brighton have scored just nine goals in eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a reliable pick every week , with more goal threat operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick six Anfield assets this week if the rules permitted.

Wolves drew another blank for the tenth occasion so far during a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have a paltry 9 strikes this campaign, with only a couple away from home. That makes this a very secure shutout opportunity available.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout at home.

It would be a third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender becoming an outstanding value defensive pick. You can field him with assurance in most games, given his potential for 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger role at Manchester United in the next few games, following Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United registered the best expected goals (xG) in the league by over three goals – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United team who have been poor on the road – managing a single victory in seven.

Mount may assume a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and might feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a major point return and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves representing a perfect scenario for it.

Wirtz has posted points in three of his past four games – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest of any his teammates, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's form cannot be overlooked.

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

An away trip at Chelsea may appear a tough assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there on two occasions in recent years.

Forwards

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, coupled with notched a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker gets the double-points role for this round.

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

One cannot consider benching Haaland, but because he has a tricky away game in this round, I'm willing to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
