Skipper Ekitike along with a Triple Arsenal Defence – The FPL Squad for the Round

What number of Liverpool assets are you able to squeeze in your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured back-to-back wins and boast a in-form attacker in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with a struggling Wolves side that are tracking for one of the worst Premier League campaigns on record.

Should you have held onto a portion of your AFCON transfers and have the funds to reinvest following the injury to the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool picks should be your top priority.

This team of the week is chosen based on latest FPL costs to stay under a £100m budget, as if using a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at The Previous Selection?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , combined with the in-form pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike led the squad to a handsome 82 points – with a bonus a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

The FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's backline had a minor wobble in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches , with nine to their name before the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three matches at home campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous effort from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple-up on the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the strongest defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in more than half of their matches, they take on a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in their past two outings.

Brighton have only managed nine goals in eight away games.

The Dutch defender continues to be a solid option each gameweek , possessing greater attacking upside since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in four consecutive starts, including a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select six Anfield assets for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games during a recent two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine strikes this campaign, including two on the road. It represents as safe a clean sheet bet imaginable.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's better goalscoring upturn – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

This would secure their third in a row and Alderete is cementing himself as a prime budget defender option. Managers can select him with assurance in most games, thanks to his consistent 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a significant part at Old Trafford in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the highest xG in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have been poor on the road – managing a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man could well assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, potentially play in the number 10 role.

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

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

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of his past four fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' display.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high of any his teammates, while his xG is 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form cannot be overlooked.

He's Aston Villa's key attacker, who can scoring a strike with half a yard of room inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a tough proposition, but Villa have won at that ground twice during the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Because of his fixture, a lack of competition for his place, and having notched a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike receives the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, although with him having a tougher away game this week, the choice is to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
