Skipper Ekitike along with a Triple Gunners Backline – The Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The quantity of Liverpool selections might you fit into your team in the upcoming gameweek?

The Merseyside club are coming off back-to-back wins , with a sizzling striker in Hugo Ekitike ahead of a encounter with Wolves that are tracking for a historically poor Premier League campaigns in history.

For managers who kept a portion of your AFCON wildcards and have the cash to spend after losing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, then assets from Anfield options should be the main consideration.

This ideal squad is constructed based on present FPL costs to fit within a £100m spending limit, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit.

How Did Last Week's Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) and the in-form pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman guided the squad to a handsome score – with a bonus a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

Our FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's defence had a brief dip following the absence of their Brazilian defender, yet they've kept two clean sheets recently , with nine already with not even half the season played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Richarlison , plus a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

This week features a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

They are the best defensive unit statistically, recording shutouts in the majority of their fixtures, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has failed to score in their last two outings.

Brighton have only managed 9 strikes in eight away games.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable pick every week , possessing greater goal threat now he is right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points over his last four appearances, featuring two clean sheets.

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

Managers would love six Anfield assets this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out for the tenth occasion this season during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.

They have scored just 9 goals this campaign, including a couple on the road. That makes this as safe a shutout opportunity available.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's recent goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland shutout on home soil.

It would be their third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defender option. Managers can start him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder should play a bigger responsibility at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United team who have struggled on the road – managing one win in seven.

Mount may assume a large share of Fernandes' playmaking duties, notably on set-pieces, potentially play behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is poised for a significant score , with a home match against the struggling Wolves presenting an ideal opportunity for that to happen.

He has registered attacking returns across his last four games – a pair of assists plus a 'defcon' display.

During that spell his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points over two matches, Rogers' form cannot be overlooked.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, who can producing a strike from minimal space inside the area.

A fixture at Chelsea may appear a challenging assignment, but Villa have emerged victorious there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with bagged five goals in three games, the French striker earns the captaincy this week.

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

One cannot consider benching the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a tricky away game this week, we are opting to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
