Jurgen Klopp's side have notched two consecutive victories , with a sizzling striker in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a encounter with a struggling Wolves side currently tracking for an abysmal top-flight campaigns in history.

Should you have held onto a few of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the budget to reinvest by replacing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield options ought to be the main consideration.

This weekly selection is constructed using latest Fantasy Premier League prices to stay under a £100m budget, mirroring using a Free Hit.

How Did The Previous Squad?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a huge score) and the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman guided the squad to a solid score – with a bonus a 10-point cameo from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

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

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a minor wobble after the absence of Gabriel, however, they've recorded two clean sheets in their past four and have nine so far with less than the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of home games this season. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward and a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged on the Gunners' backline.

They are the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has drawn a blank in their last two games.

Brighton have only managed nine strikes across eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a steady choice each gameweek and has increased attacking upside operating as right-back.

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

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

I'd pick six Liverpool assets this week if possible.

Wolves were shut out for the tenth occasion this season during a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have a paltry 9 goals this campaign, including two on the road. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity available.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's better offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

This would secure a third in a row and the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as an outstanding low-cost defender option. Managers can start him with assurance in most games, given his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a significant part at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Recently, United registered the best expected goals (xG) in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle team who have been poor in away matches – managing a single victory in their last seven.

Mount may assume a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, especially on set-pieces, and could play as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score and a home match versus the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect scenario for it.

He has posted points across his past four games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution performance.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, and his xG is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's main goal threat, who can producing a strike from half a yard of room in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea could be viewed as a difficult proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the captain's armband this week.

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

There's no dropping the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a tricky away game this week, we are opting to look elsewhere for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
