Skipper Hugo Ekitike along with a Triple Arsenal Defence – The FPL Team of the Week

What number of The Reds assets are you able to squeeze in your team this week?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , featuring a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a encounter with a struggling Wolves side currently heading towards an abysmal Premier League seasons ever.

If you've held onto a few of your AFCON free transfers , with the funds to upgrade after losing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, in that case Liverpool picks must be your top priority.

The weekly selection is chosen based on present FPL prices to fit within a 100 million pound budget, mirroring using a Free Hit chip.

How Did Our Recent Selection?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) and the productive duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike guided the team to a respectable score – with a bonus a 10-point performance from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

Our FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's backline had a brief dip following an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've secured two clean sheets over their last four matches , boasting 9 already with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three home games this season. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Richarlison , plus a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple-up on the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the best defensive unit in the game, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have failed to score in two consecutive matches.

The South Coast club have only managed nine goals in eight matches on the road.

Timber is a reliable choice every week and has increased goal threat now he is right-back.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in his past four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield assets this week if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time so far in Saturday's 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

They have scored just nine goals all season, with only two on the road. This is as safe a clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's improved offensive form – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming an outstanding value defender option. You can start him confidently in most games, due to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a bigger responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, United have generated the best xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 against the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side that has not excelled in away matches – managing a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man may inherit a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, potentially operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a big haul and a home match against Wolves being the prime scenario for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns across his past four fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, the highest of any Liverpool, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, Rogers' hot streak is impossible to ignore.

He's Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to creating a strike with minimal space inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea may appear a tough proposition, but Villa have won there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having notched five goals over three matches, Ekitike receives the captaincy this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a tricky away game in this round, we are opting to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
