The quantity of The Reds assets might you accommodate into your squad for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off two consecutive victories , with a sizzling attacker in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers who are tracking for an abysmal Premier League seasons ever.

Should you have held onto a portion of your AFCON transfers , and possess the cash to upgrade following the injury to the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, then assets from Anfield picks should be your top priority.

The weekly selection is chosen according to present FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, mirroring activating a Free Hit chip.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Selection?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , combined with the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) plus Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a solid score – enhanced by a 10-point contribution from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

This Week's FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, but they have kept two shutouts over their last four matches and have 9 already with less than half the season played.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in all but three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a triple selection from the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the best defence in the game, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Brighton side who have not found the net in their past two matches.

The South Coast club have only managed nine strikes across eight away games.

The Dutch defender continues to be a solid option every week , with greater goal threat operating as the full-back role.

Hincapie has earned 'defcon' points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

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

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time so far during a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

The Midlands side have a paltry nine goals this campaign, with only two on the road. That makes this a very secure shutout bet available.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's recent offensive form – including the performances of their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

It would be a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as the best value defensive pick. Managers can field him confidently in most games, given his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a key part at Manchester United over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest xG across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle team that has struggled on the road – managing a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man may take over many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might play behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is poised for a big haul and a home match versus Wolves presenting a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns in three out of his last four games – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, a team-high of any his teammates, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's current form demands attention.

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

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Given his fixture, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with bagged five goals in three games, the French striker gets the double-points role for this round.

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

There's no benching Haaland, although because he has a tricky away game this week, the choice is to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
