Captain Hugo Ekitike along with a Triple Gunners Backline – The Fantasy Premier League Squad for the Round

The quantity of The Reds assets might you accommodate into your lineup for this round?

The Merseyside club have secured two consecutive victories , featuring a red-hot attacker in Hugo Ekitike going into a encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are on course for an abysmal Premier League campaigns ever.

For managers who held onto some of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , with the funds to upgrade after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool options should be the primary focus.

This ideal squad is assembled using latest FPL costs to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, simulating you were playing a one-week wildcard.

A Look Back at Last Week's Team?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , combined with the productive duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman led the team to a handsome score – with a bonus a double-digit contribution from Fulham's defender off the bench.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a brief dip in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, yet they've recorded two shutouts over their last four matches and have nine so far with not even the campaign's midpoint played.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates campaign. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a triple selection from the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in over 50% of their matches, they take on a Brighton side who have failed to score in two consecutive outings.

Brighton have only managed nine goals in eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender is a steady pick each gameweek , possessing greater offensive potential operating as right-back.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Anfield assets this week if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time this season during a recent 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have scored just 9 goals in total, with only a couple on the road. That makes this as safe a clean sheet prospect imaginable.

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

Even with the Yorkshire club's recent offensive form – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout on home soil.

That would mark a third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defender option. You can select him regularly in most games, given his potential for defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a key responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

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

They face a Newcastle United team that has been poor in away matches – with just a single victory in seven.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly on set-pieces, and could feature as an attacking midfielder.

Florian Wirtz, the Reds, £8.1m – vs Wolves (H).

The German playmaker is due a big haul and a fixture at Anfield versus the struggling Wolves presenting a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

He has delivered returns across four recent fixtures – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

Over that time he's made 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' hot streak demands attention.

He is Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to creating a goal with the smallest room in the box.

An away trip to Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have won there twice during the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, and having bagged a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker receives the captaincy this week.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a tricky fixture on the road this week, we are opting to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
