What number of Liverpool selections are you able to squeeze into your team this week?
The Merseyside club are coming off two consecutive victories , with a in-form attacker in Hugo Ekitike going into a fixture with Wolverhampton Wanderers that are heading towards a historically poor Premier League seasons in history.
If you've kept a portion of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers , and possess the funds to spend after losing the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, in that case Liverpool players should be your top priority.
This weekly selection is chosen according to present FPL prices to stay under a 100 million pound cap, simulating using a one-week wildcard.
Skipper Erling Haaland (32 points) and the hot duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) and Hugo Ekitike propelled the team to a solid score – supplemented by a 10-point performance from Antonee Robinson as a substitute.
David Raya, the Gunners, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton (H).
The North London side's backline experienced a brief dip following an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've secured two shutouts over their last four matches , boasting nine to their name with not even half the season gone.
The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three matches at home this season. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward and a late header from Wolves' attacker.
Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) and Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), the Gunners – vs Brighton (H).
We're opting for a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.
They are the strongest defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have drawn a blank in their last two games.
The South Coast club have scored just 9 goals in eight fixtures away from home.
Timber continues to be a reliable choice each gameweek and has increased attacking upside operating as the full-back role.
The Ecuadorian has earned defensive contribution points over his last four starts, which included two clean sheets.
Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolves (H).
Managers would love half a dozen Anfield players for this fixture if the rules permitted.
Wolves were shut out once again this season in Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.
They have scored just nine goals this campaign, with only a couple on the road. This is one of the safest clean sheet prospect available.
Omar Alderete, Sunderland, £4m – vs Leeds United (H).
Even with the Yorkshire club's improved goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout at home.
It would be their third consecutive and Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding value defender option. You can start him confidently across many fixtures, due to his regular defensive contribution points.
Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle United (H).
The English midfielder will likely assume a significant part for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, with their Portuguese maestro out injured.
Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds' 5.68.
They face a Newcastle United team that has been poor on the road – with just one win from seven attempts.
The former Chelsea man could well take over many of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, and might play behind the striker.
Florian Wirtz, the Reds, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
The German playmaker is due a significant score and a home match versus the struggling Wolves representing an ideal opportunity for that to happen.
He has posted points in three of four recent fixtures – two assists and one 'defcon' display.
In that period he's made 10 chances, a team-high of any Liverpool, while his xG is 0.88.
Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £7.2m – vs Chelsea (A).
Boasting 30 points in two games, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.
He's Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of creating a goal from half a yard of room inside the area.
An away trip at Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a challenging assignment, but Villa have won at that ground on two occasions in the past three seasons.
Hugo Ekitike (Captain), Liverpool, £8.9m – vs Wolves (H).
Due to his fixture, having no competition for a starting spot, and having scored a five-goal haul over three matches, Ekitike receives the double-points role for this round.
Erling Haaland, City, £15.1m – vs Forest (A).
One cannot consider benching Haaland, but with him having a tricky fixture on the road in this round, I'm willing to bet against him with the captain's role.
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
