The quantity of The Reds players can you fit into your squad in the upcoming gameweek?
The Merseyside club are coming off two consecutive victories , with a red-hot forward in Hugo Ekitike preparing for a fixture with a struggling Wolves side that are tracking for an abysmal Premier League seasons ever.
If you've held onto a few of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers , and possess the funds to spend after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool picks should be your top priority.
This ideal squad is assembled according to current FPL valuations to comply with a £100m budget, mirroring activating a Free Hit.
Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the hot pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) plus Hugo Ekitike guided the selection to a solid score – enhanced by a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.
David Raya, the Gunners, goalkeeper, £6m – vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H).
Arsenal's backline suffered a brief dip following the absence of Gabriel, yet they've recorded two shutouts over their last four matches , boasting nine to their name with not even the campaign's midpoint played.
The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Richarlison , plus a unexpected header from Tolu Arokodare.
Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) & Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), Arsenal – vs Brighton (H).
This week features a three-pronged from the Gunners' backline.
They are the best defence in the game, 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 games.
Brighton have scored just 9 strikes from eight matches on the road.
The Dutch defender is a reliable option every week , with greater attacking upside since returning to right-back.
Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points over his last four starts, including a pair of shutouts.
Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolves (H).
One could select six Anfield assets this week if allowed.
Gary O'Neil's team failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games during a recent 2-0 defeat at Molineux to Brentford.
The Midlands side have scored just 9 goals in total, including a couple on the road. This is as safe a shutout prospect possible.
Omar Alderete, the Black Cats, £4m – vs Leeds (H).
Despite the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – we're selecting a Sunderland shutout on home soil.
This would secure their third in a row and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. Managers can start him confidently across many fixtures, thanks to his regular defensive contribution points.
Mason Mount, United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle (H).
The English midfielder should play a significant part at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.
Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team boast the greatest expected goals (xG) in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 versus second-best Leeds' 5.68.
They welcome a Newcastle side who have struggled on the road – with just one win in their last seven.
Mount is likely to take over a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, notably from dead-ball situations, and might operate behind the striker.
Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.1m – vs Wolves (H).
The German playmaker is poised for a big haul , with a home match against Wolves representing the prime opportunity for that to happen.
Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three out of his last four fixtures – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution performance.
Over that time his chance creation stands at 10 chances, a team-high of any Liverpool, and his expected goals is 0.88.
Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £7.2m – vs the Blues (A).
Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's hot streak is impossible to ignore.
He is Aston Villa's key attacker, with an ability to scoring a goal with the smallest room in the box.
A fixture to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in the last three campaigns.
Hugo Ekitike (Captain), Liverpool, £8.9m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
Due to his fixture, a lack of competition for a starting spot, and having scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the captaincy this week.
Erling Haaland, Manchester City, £15.1m – vs Forest (A).
It is unthinkable to dropping the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a more difficult away game in this round, I'm willing to pass over him for captaincy.
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
