Skipper Hugo Ekitike along with a Three-Pronged Arsenal Defence – The FPL Team of the Week

How many Liverpool selections can you squeeze inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched a pair of triumphs and boast a sizzling striker in their French frontman going into a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers who are on course for a historically poor top-flight seasons on record.

If you've kept a portion of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers , with the budget to spend after losing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks should be the primary focus.

The team of the week is constructed based on current Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at The Previous Team?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) , alongside the productive pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the squad to a handsome score – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

Our FPL Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence experienced a minor wobble in the wake of an injury to Gabriel, yet they've recorded two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine so far before the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward and a late goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.

Not only are they the best defensive unit in FPL, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they host a Brighton team that has drawn a blank in two consecutive matches.

The South Coast club have only managed 9 strikes across eight away games.

The Dutch defender is a reliable pick each gameweek , with more goal threat operating as the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has registered 'defcon' points over his last four starts, including a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Anfield assets for this fixture if possible.

Wolves failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed 9 goals this campaign, with only a couple on the road. This is a very secure shutout bet possible.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark their third consecutive and Alderete establishing himself as the best value defensive pick. You can field him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his consistent 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

Mount should play a significant role at Manchester United in the next few games, following Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Recently, United registered the best expected goals (xG) statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 against second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United team who have struggled on the road – with just a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man may inherit a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, particularly from dead-ball situations, potentially operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is due a major point return , with a fixture at Anfield against Wolves presenting the prime opportunity for it.

He has posted points in three out of his past four games – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high among all Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form demands attention.

He is Villa's key attacker, who can producing a strike with half a yard of room in the box.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge might seem a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have won there twice during the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Given his fixture, having no rivalry for his place, and having scored five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the double-points role this week.

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

There's no omitting Haaland, although with him having a more difficult fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
