What number of Liverpool selections are you able to squeeze inside your squad for this round?

The Merseyside club have secured a pair of triumphs , with a red-hot striker in their French frontman preparing for a encounter with Wolves that are heading towards an abysmal top-flight seasons ever.

For managers who held onto a few of your Africa Cup of Nations wildcards , with the cash to upgrade following the injury to the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield options should be your top priority.

The ideal squad is constructed according to current Fantasy Premier League costs to fit within a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring activating a Free Hit.

How Did The Previous Team?

Captain Manchester City's striker (32 points) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a respectable total – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

The Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

Arsenal's backline experienced a minor wobble in the wake of the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two clean sheets over their last four matches and have 9 so far with less than half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of matches at home campaign. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward and a surprise header from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple selection on the Arsenal defence.

They are the top defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has failed to score in two consecutive games.

The South Coast club have a mere 9 goals in eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a steady choice each gameweek , with greater goal threat since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank once again this season during a recent two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have a paltry 9 goals in total, with only a couple on the road. That makes this a very secure shutout opportunity imaginable.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland shutout at home.

This would secure a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as a prime budget defensive pick. Managers can select him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his consistent defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a bigger part for Old Trafford in the next few games, with Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Recently, United boast the highest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle side that has struggled in away matches – managing one win in their last seven.

Mount may inherit a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly on set-pieces, and could play as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is due a big haul , with a home match versus Wolves being the prime opportunity for it.

Wirtz has delivered returns across four recent games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' performance.

In that period he has created 10 chances, a team-high among all his teammates, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's talisman, who can scoring a goal with half a yard of space inside the area.

A fixture at Chelsea could be viewed as a challenging assignment, but Villa have won at that ground in two of recent years.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, having no competition for a starting spot, and having scored five goals over three matches, the French striker receives the captaincy for this round.

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

One cannot consider dropping Haaland, however with him having a tricky fixture on the road in this round, I'm willing to bet against him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
