The quantity of The Reds selections might you accommodate into your squad for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off back-to-back wins , featuring a red-hot striker in their French frontman going into a fixture with Wolves that are on course for one of the worst Premier League seasons ever.

Should you have kept some of your AFCON wildcards , with the budget to reinvest after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, then assets from Anfield players should be the main consideration.

This weekly selection is assembled according to present Fantasy Premier League prices to comply with a 100 million pound cap, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

A Look Back at The Previous Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a solid 82 points – supplemented by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

This Week's FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline suffered a minor wobble after the absence of Gabriel, but they have kept two clean sheets in their past four and have nine to their name with less than the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of home games this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward and a unexpected header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple selection on the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the top defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has failed to score in two consecutive outings.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 goals in eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a solid choice every week , with greater goal threat now he is the full-back role.

Hincapie has collected 'defcon' points in his past four appearances, including a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select half a dozen Anfield players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion this season during Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have scored just 9 goals this campaign, with only two away from home. This is one of the safest shutout prospect possible.

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

Even with Leeds United's better offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark their third in a row and Alderete becoming the best value defensive pick. Managers can select him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a significant responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, following Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United boast the greatest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle side who have been poor on the road – with just a single victory in seven.

Mount may assume a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and might operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a home match versus the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect scenario for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of his last four games – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

In that period he's made 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, the midfielder's current form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a goal with half a yard of room in the box.

An away trip to Chelsea could be viewed as a tough assignment, but Villa have won there twice during the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband for this round.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, however because he has a more difficult away game in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
