Jurgen Klopp's side have secured two consecutive victories , with a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a fixture with a struggling Wolves side that are on course for a historically poor Premier League seasons in history.

Should you have kept some of your AFCON free transfers and have the cash to upgrade after losing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, then assets from Anfield picks ought to be the main consideration.

The ideal squad is assembled using current Fantasy Premier League costs to stay under a £100m cap, simulating using a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at Our Recent Squad?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the hot duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike led the selection to a respectable total – supplemented by a double-digit contribution from Fulham's defender as a substitute.

The Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Keeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a minor wobble in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've kept two shutouts over their last four matches and have 9 already before half the season played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Richarlison and a surprise goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a three-pronged from the Arsenal backline.

They are the top defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has not found the net in their last two matches.

Brighton have a mere 9 goals across eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender is a steady pick every week , with increased attacking upside since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love half a dozen Anfield assets this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team drew another blank for the 10th time this season in Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals all season, including two away from home. That makes this a very secure clean sheet opportunity possible.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light clean sheet on home soil.

It would be their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime low-cost defender option. Managers can select him with assurance in most games, due to his potential for 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a key role for Manchester United in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, United have generated the best expected goals (xG) in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side who have not excelled on the road – with just one win in their last seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, and might operate behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is due a significant score , with a home match against Wolves being an ideal scenario for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three out of his past four games – two assists and one defensive contribution performance.

Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest of any his teammates, and his xG is 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's talisman, with an ability to scoring a goal with the smallest space in the box.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge may appear a challenging proposition, but Villa have won at that ground on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, having no competition for his place, coupled with scored five goals in three games, Ekitike gets the captaincy for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting Haaland, however with him having a tricky fixture on the road in this round, I'm willing to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
