How many The Reds selections might you squeeze in your lineup in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club are coming off back-to-back wins and boast a red-hot striker in their French frontman preparing for a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers who are tracking for an abysmal top-flight seasons in history.

Should you have retained a few of your AFCON wildcards , with the cash to upgrade after losing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield players must be your top priority.

This weekly selection is chosen using latest Fantasy Premier League valuations to comply with a 100 million pound cap, as if activating a Free Hit chip.

What Was the Performance of Last Week's Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman guided the squad to a solid total – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

This Week's FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a slight stumble after an injury to Gabriel, but they have recorded two clean sheets recently and have nine so far with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Richarlison , plus a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a three-pronged on the Arsenal backline.

They are the top defence in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have failed to score in their past two games.

Brighton have scored just 9 goals from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber remains a reliable option every week , possessing more goal threat now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has registered defensive contribution points in four consecutive appearances, which included two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if possible.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion this season in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have scored just 9 goals in total, with only a couple away from home. This is one of the safest shutout opportunity available.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

This would secure their third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can select him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a bigger role at Old Trafford in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best xG across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle team who have been poor away from home – managing a single victory in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man could well assume a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, particularly on set-pieces, potentially 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 home match versus Wolves presenting a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

He has delivered returns in three of four recent games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, and his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' hot streak is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's talisman, capable of scoring a goal with the smallest room inside the area.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge may appear a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to his fixture, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with notched a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband this week.

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

One cannot consider benching the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a more difficult fixture on the road this week, the choice is to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
