The quantity of Liverpool selections can you accommodate in your team in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a sizzling attacker in Hugo Ekitike going into a clash with Wolves that are on course for a historically poor Premier League seasons in history.

If you've kept some of your AFCON transfers and have the cash to reinvest after losing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, consequently Liverpool picks should be the main consideration.

This weekly selection is assembled based on present Fantasy Premier League prices to stay under a 100 million pound budget, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the hot pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike propelled the selection to a respectable 82 points – with a bonus a 10-point contribution from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

The Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence experienced a minor wobble following an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine to their name with not even the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in all but three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward and a surprise header from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defence statistically, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have drawn a blank in two consecutive matches.

Brighton have a mere 9 goals from eight away games.

Timber is a solid option every week and has greater offensive potential operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has earned 'defcon' points over his last four starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Liverpool players for this fixture if possible.

Wolves failed to score for the 10th time this season in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have a paltry 9 goals in total, including two on the road. It represents as safe a clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – and the form of their striker – the pick is a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

It would be a third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender becoming a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can select him confidently in most games, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a significant part for Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

In their last three matches, United registered the highest xG across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team who have not excelled on the road – with just one win from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man could well inherit many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, and might play behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is due a significant score , with a home match versus Wolves being the prime time for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns across his past four games – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, while his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' form demands attention.

He is Villa's talisman, with an ability to creating a goal from half a yard of room inside the area.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge might seem a tough proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious there in two of the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

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

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, although because he has a tougher away game this week, the choice is to bet against him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
