Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off back-to-back wins and boast a sizzling forward in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with a struggling Wolves side who are tracking for a historically poor Premier League campaigns on record.

For managers who held onto a portion of your AFCON transfers , with the budget to reinvest by replacing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield picks must be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is assembled using current Fantasy Premier League prices to stay under a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring using a Free Hit.

A Look Back at Our Recent Squad?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike led the squad to a respectable score – enhanced by a 10-point cameo from Fulham's defender from the replacements.

Our FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

Arsenal's backline had a slight stumble in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two clean sheets in their past four , boasting nine so far with not even half the season played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous effort from Richarlison , plus a late header from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple selection from the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the top defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has drawn a blank in their past two outings.

Brighton have only managed 9 goals across eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender is a reliable pick each gameweek , possessing increased attacking upside since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has earned defensive contribution points in four consecutive appearances, including two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love six Anfield assets for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time so far in a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have only managed nine strikes all season, including a couple on the road. This is as safe a shutout bet available.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's improved goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – I'm backing a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

This would secure a third consecutive and Alderete becoming the best value defender option. Managers can field him with assurance across many fixtures, given his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a significant responsibility at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team boast the highest expected goals (xG) statistically by over three goals – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds' 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United side that has been poor on the road – with just one win from seven attempts.

Mount could well inherit many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, notably from dead-ball situations, potentially play behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is due a significant score , with a home match against Wolves presenting an ideal opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of four recent fixtures – two assists and one 'defcon' performance.

During that spell he has created 10 chances, the most among all his teammates, while his xG totals 0.88.

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

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

He is Villa's talisman, capable of producing a goal from the smallest room in the box.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge may appear a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Given his fixture, a lack of rivalry for his place, and having bagged five goals in three games, Ekitike gets the captain's armband this week.

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

It is unthinkable to omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although with him having a tougher fixture on the road in this round, the choice is to bet against him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
