The quantity of Liverpool selections can you fit into your team this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off a pair of triumphs and boast a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently on course for one of the worst Premier League seasons ever.

Should you have retained a portion of your AFCON transfers , and possess the funds to reinvest following the injury to the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, in that case Liverpool players should be the primary focus.

The team of the week is chosen using latest Fantasy Premier League costs to comply with a £100m cap, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Last Week's Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the hot pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a handsome score – enhanced by a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

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

Keeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a brief dip in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, however, they've kept two shutouts over their last four matches , with 9 already with less than the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular strike from Richarlison and a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a three-pronged from the Arsenal backline.

As well as being the best defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they take on a Brighton team who have failed to score in their last two games.

The South Coast club have scored just nine goals across eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a reliable choice each gameweek , with more attacking upside since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, including a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select six Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion this season in a recent 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have only managed nine strikes in total, including a couple away from home. That makes this as safe a shutout bet available.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

This would secure their third consecutive , with Alderete establishing himself as the best value defensive pick. You can start him with assurance in most games, thanks to his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger part at Manchester United in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United team that has been poor away from home – with just one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to take over a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, and could operate behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is due a big haul and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect time for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three out of his last four games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' display.

In that period he has created 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to scoring a strike with half a yard of room in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a difficult proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals in three games, the French striker earns the captaincy for this round.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a tricky away game in this round, the choice is to bet against him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
