The quantity of The Reds players might you fit inside your lineup this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured two consecutive victories and boast a in-form striker in Hugo Ekitike going into a fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently on course for an abysmal Premier League seasons in history.

If you've held onto a portion of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , with the budget to upgrade after losing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield players should be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is assembled according to latest FPL prices to fit within a 100 million pound cap, mirroring activating a Free Hit.

How Did Last Week's Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a respectable total – with a bonus a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's backline suffered a brief dip in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, but they have recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches and have nine already with not even half the season completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular effort from Tottenham's forward and a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple-up on the Gunners' backline.

They are the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they face a Brighton side that has not found the net in their past two outings.

The South Coast club have only managed nine strikes across eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a steady option every week , with more goal threat operating as right-back.

The Ecuadorian has registered 'defcon' points in his past four starts, which included two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Anfield assets this week if possible.

Wolves drew another blank once again in 17 games during a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have scored just nine goals all season, with only two on the road. This is a very secure shutout opportunity possible.

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

Even with Leeds United's recent offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure a third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as an outstanding value defender option. Managers can field him with assurance in most games, thanks to his regular 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger role for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle side who have been poor away from home – managing one win from seven attempts.

Mount may inherit many of Fernandes' playmaking duties, particularly on set-pieces, potentially operate behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a significant score and a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves representing an ideal opportunity for it.

Wirtz has posted points in three out of his last four games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's form is impossible to ignore.

He's Aston Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to creating a strike from the smallest space in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there twice during the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, and having bagged five goals in three games, Ekitike earns the captain's armband this week.

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

One cannot consider omitting Haaland, but because he has a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
