The quantity of The Reds players can you fit into your team for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off a pair of triumphs , featuring a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are tracking for one of the worst Premier League campaigns ever.

If you've held onto a portion of your AFCON wildcards and have the cash to reinvest by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield players should be the main consideration.

The weekly selection is chosen using current Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a 100 million pound budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) and the productive duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman led the selection to a respectable total – supplemented by a 10-point performance from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence suffered a slight stumble in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, but they have kept two clean sheets recently , boasting 9 already with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of home games campaign. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular effort from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

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

They are the best defence in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have not found the net in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have only managed 9 strikes across eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable pick every week , with greater attacking upside now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has registered defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love six Liverpool players this week if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score once again so far in a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have scored just 9 goals this campaign, including a couple on the road. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet prospect available.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

This would secure a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as the best low-cost defensive pick. You can start him regularly in most games, given his consistent defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a significant part at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by over three goals – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side that has been poor in away matches – managing a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably from dead-ball situations, potentially operate behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a big haul , with a home match against Wolves presenting an ideal scenario for that to happen.

He has delivered returns across his past four fixtures – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, while his xG is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points over two matches, Rogers' hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's key attacker, who can creating a goal from the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge may appear a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, and having notched a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike earns the captaincy for this round.

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

One cannot consider omitting Haaland, although because he has a tougher away game in this round, the choice is to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
