What number of The Reds assets might you accommodate inside your lineup in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a sizzling forward in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a fixture with Wolves who are heading towards an abysmal top-flight seasons ever.

If you've retained a portion of your AFCON transfers , with the funds to upgrade following the injury to the injured Bruno Fernandes, then assets from Anfield picks should be your top priority.

This team of the week is constructed according to latest Fantasy Premier League costs to stay under a 100 million pound cap, simulating activating a one-week wildcard.

How Did Last Week's Squad?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) and the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike propelled the team to a solid 82 points – enhanced by a 10-point contribution from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

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

Goalkeeper & Defenders

David Raya, Arsenal, 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 kept two shutouts in their past four , boasting nine already with less than half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of home games campaign. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a three-pronged on the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the best defence in the game, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have failed to score in their past two outings.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 goals from eight away games.

Timber remains a reliable pick each gameweek and has more goal threat since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in his past four starts, including two clean sheets.

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

One could select half a dozen Anfield players this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time this season in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have scored just nine goals in total, with only a couple away from home. That makes this one of the safest shutout opportunity possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – including the performances of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

It would be their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming the best budget defensive pick. You can select him with assurance in most games, thanks to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a bigger responsibility for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team who have not excelled away from home – managing a single victory in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, and might play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a big haul , with a home match versus Wolves representing the prime time for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns across his last four fixtures – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

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

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, who can creating a goal with minimal space in the box.

A fixture to Chelsea could be viewed as a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground twice during the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, and having bagged five goals over three matches, the French striker receives the double-points role this week.

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

There's no benching the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a tougher fixture on the road this week, we are opting to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
