The Merseyside club have secured back-to-back wins , with a sizzling forward in their French frontman going into a encounter with Wolves that are tracking for an abysmal Premier League campaigns ever.

If you've held onto a few of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , with the cash to spend after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool players ought to be your top priority.

This weekly selection is chosen according to present Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a £100m cap, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit.

How Did The Previous Squad?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , alongside the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the selection to a handsome 82 points – with a bonus a 10-point contribution from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

The FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence suffered a minor wobble after an injury to Gabriel, however, they've recorded two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine already with not even half the season completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three home games this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

As well as being the strongest defence statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have not found the net in their last two outings.

The South Coast club have scored just nine strikes across eight away games.

The Dutch defender is a reliable pick each gameweek and has increased offensive potential operating as right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in his past four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love six Anfield assets this week if the rules permitted.

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion in 17 games during Saturday's two-nil home loss to the Bees.

They have a paltry nine strikes in total, with only two away from home. This is one of the safest shutout bet imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – including the performances of their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

That would mark a third in a row and Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding budget defensive pick. Managers can field him confidently in most games, due to his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a key part for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Recently, United have generated the best expected goals (xG) in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side who have struggled in away matches – managing a single victory from seven attempts.

Mount is likely to inherit many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, potentially play in the number 10 role.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a significant score , with a home match against the struggling Wolves representing the prime scenario for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of his past four fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' performance.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any Liverpool, and his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's form demands attention.

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

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have won at that ground twice during the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike receives the captaincy this week.

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

One cannot consider benching Haaland, however with him having a tougher fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to bet against him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
