What number of The Reds players can you fit into your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club have secured back-to-back wins and boast a sizzling attacker in their French frontman ahead of a clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers currently tracking for an abysmal top-flight campaigns in history.

Should you have kept a portion of your AFCON wildcards , with the cash to upgrade by replacing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, in that case Liverpool picks should be the primary focus.

The weekly selection is assembled based on present FPL costs to fit within a £100m spending limit, as if activating a Free Hit.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Selection?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , alongside the hot duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a solid score – supplemented by a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.

This Week's FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline had a minor wobble after the absence of their Brazilian defender, however, they've kept two clean sheets recently and have 9 already with not even the campaign's midpoint played.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

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

Not only are they the strongest defence in FPL, recording shutouts in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has failed to score in their past two matches.

Brighton have scored just nine strikes from eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender is a solid pick every week and has greater offensive potential since returning to right-back.

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

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool assets for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out once again in 17 games in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have only managed 9 goals in total, including a couple away from home. That makes this a very secure clean sheet prospect available.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

This would secure their third consecutive , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as the best low-cost defensive pick. Managers can start him confidently in most games, given his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

Mount will likely assume a significant responsibility at Old Trafford in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

In their last three matches, United registered the highest xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have struggled on the road – managing one win in seven.

Mount could well take over many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, potentially feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a big haul , with a home match versus Wolves being an ideal time for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns in three out of his last four games – two assists and one 'defcon' display.

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

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's current form demands attention.

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

An away trip to Chelsea may appear a challenging proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

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

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

One cannot consider benching Haaland, however because he has a more difficult away game this week, I'm willing to look elsewhere with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
