Skipper Hugo Ekitike along with a Three-Pronged Gunners Backline – The Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The quantity of The Reds selections might you squeeze into your lineup for this round?

The Merseyside club have notched back-to-back wins and boast a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a encounter with a struggling Wolves side currently tracking for a historically poor Premier League seasons on record.

For managers who kept a portion of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the budget to spend after losing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, then assets from Anfield players ought to be the main consideration.

The team of the week is constructed based on current FPL valuations to comply with a £100m spending limit, mirroring using a one-week wildcard.

A Look Back at Last Week's Team?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman led the squad to a handsome 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

Our Fantasy Premier League 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 brief dip after the absence of Gabriel, but they have secured two shutouts recently , with nine so far with not even the campaign's midpoint played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple selection from the Arsenal defence.

Not only are they the top defence statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they host a Brighton side that has failed to score in their last two games.

Brighton have scored just 9 strikes in eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender continues to be a steady option each gameweek , with more offensive potential now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points in four consecutive appearances, including two clean sheets.

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

One could select six Liverpool assets this week if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again in 17 games during a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have a paltry nine goals this campaign, including a couple on the road. That makes this a very secure shutout bet possible.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's better offensive form – highlighted by their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure their third in a row and Alderete establishing himself as a prime budget defensive pick. Managers can field him regularly in most games, due to his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a bigger role for Manchester United over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team registered the greatest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United team who have not excelled in away matches – managing a single victory in seven.

Mount could well assume many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and could operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield against Wolves presenting a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has posted points in three of four recent fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' performance.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, the highest of any Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

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

He's Villa's talisman, with an ability to scoring a goal from half a yard of room inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea could be viewed as a tough assignment, but Villa have won there twice during recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with notched a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captaincy this week.

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

It is unthinkable to dropping Haaland, but because he has a tougher away game in this round, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
