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

The quantity of The Reds assets are you able to fit in your squad for this round?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched back-to-back wins and boast a in-form forward in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a clash with Wolves that are on course for one of the worst Premier League seasons in history.

For managers who kept a few of your AFCON transfers , with the cash to upgrade following the injury to the injured Bruno Fernandes, consequently Liverpool options must be your top priority.

The team of the week is assembled based on latest Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a 100 million pound cap, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

How Did The Previous Squad?

Captain Manchester City's striker (32 points) , alongside the in-form duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Hugo Ekitike propelled the squad to a solid total – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Selection for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence experienced a minor wobble after an injury to Gabriel, however, they've recorded two clean sheets in their past four , boasting 9 to their name before the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have let in goals in just a handful of home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a triple-up from the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the best defence statistically, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they face a Roberto De Zerbi's team that has drawn a blank in their last two outings.

The South Coast club have a mere nine strikes in eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender remains a steady option each gameweek and has greater offensive potential since returning to the full-back role.

Hincapie has collected defensive contribution points in four consecutive appearances, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select half a dozen Anfield assets this week if possible.

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion this season in Saturday's two-nil home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have a paltry nine goals this campaign, with only a couple away from home. That makes this a very secure shutout opportunity imaginable.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – including the performances of their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

This would secure a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender becoming the best low-cost defender option. Managers can start him with assurance in most games, thanks to his regular 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a key responsibility at Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the highest xG across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United side that has been poor away from home – managing a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably on set-pieces, and could play in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a big haul and a fixture at Anfield against Wolves being an ideal opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of four recent games – two assists plus a defensive contribution display.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, while his xG is 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He's Aston Villa's talisman, with an ability to producing a goal from half a yard of space inside the area.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge may appear a difficult proposition, but Villa have won at that ground on two occasions in recent years.

Forwards

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

Given his fixture, a lack of competition for his place, coupled with bagged a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike receives the captaincy for this round.

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

There's no omitting Haaland, but because he has a more difficult away game in this round, the choice is to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
