The quantity of Liverpool assets are you able to fit in your team in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have notched back-to-back wins , featuring a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a fixture with Wolves that are on course for one of the worst Premier League campaigns on record.

Should you have kept a few of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers and have the budget to upgrade following the injury to the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, then assets from Anfield picks should be the main consideration.

The team of the week is assembled using present Fantasy Premier League costs to fit within a £100m spending limit, simulating activating a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman led the selection to a respectable 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's backline suffered a brief dip after an injury to Gabriel, yet they've secured two shutouts over their last four matches , with nine so far with not even half the season played.

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 header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged from the Arsenal backline.

They are the strongest defence in the game, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have drawn a blank in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have a mere nine strikes across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender continues to be a reliable pick every week , with more offensive potential operating as right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points over his last four appearances, featuring two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool players this week if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank for the 10th time so far in Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have a paltry nine goals in total, with only a couple away from home. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

It would be their third in a row , with Alderete becoming a prime low-cost defensive pick. Managers can start him regularly across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent 'defcon' points.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro out injured.

Over the past three games, United boast the greatest xG in the league by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have been poor on the road – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit a large share of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, and might feature behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a home match against the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect scenario for it.

He has registered attacking returns across his past four fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' display.

Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest of any his teammates, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's hot streak is impossible to ignore.

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

An away trip to Stamford Bridge may appear a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in recent years.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the captaincy this week.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, but with him having a tricky fixture on the road this week, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
