The quantity of The Reds selections might you accommodate inside your lineup this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , with a red-hot forward in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are heading towards an abysmal Premier League seasons in history.

If you've kept some of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers , with the cash to upgrade after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, then assets from Anfield picks must be the main consideration.

The weekly selection is chosen according to latest Fantasy Premier League prices to comply with a £100m spending limit, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

A Look Back at Our Recent Team?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) and the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike led the selection to a solid 82 points – with a bonus a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

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

Keeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's backline experienced a brief dip following an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've recorded two shutouts over their last four matches , boasting 9 to their name with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home campaign. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a spectacular strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple-up on the Arsenal defence.

They are the strongest defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in more than half of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has not found the net in their last two outings.

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

Timber continues to be a steady choice each gameweek , possessing greater goal threat operating as the full-back role.

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

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed 9 strikes in total, including a couple away from home. That makes this as safe a clean sheet bet imaginable.

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

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

It would be a third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. Managers can field him regularly in most games, thanks to his regular 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger responsibility for Manchester United in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the greatest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team who have been poor away from home – managing a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to inherit a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and might operate in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is poised for a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield against Wolves representing an ideal scenario for that to happen.

He has delivered returns in three out of his last four fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most among all his teammates, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points over two matches, Rogers' hot streak demands attention.

He is Aston Villa's main goal threat, capable of scoring a strike with minimal room in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea may appear a difficult proposition, the Birmingham club have won at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, and having notched five goals over three matches, the French striker receives the captain's armband this week.

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

One cannot consider dropping Haaland, but with him having a more difficult fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
