Jurgen Klopp's side have secured back-to-back wins , with a sizzling attacker in their French frontman preparing for a clash with a struggling Wolves side currently heading towards a historically poor Premier League seasons in history.

For managers who held onto some of your AFCON wildcards , with the cash to reinvest after losing the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, then Liverpool picks should be your top priority.

This team of the week is chosen according to present Fantasy Premier League valuations to fit within a £100m cap, as if using a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of Our Recent Team?

Captain Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , alongside the productive duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) plus Hugo Ekitike propelled the selection to a handsome 82 points – with a bonus a double-digit performance from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Keeper and Defence

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

The North London side's backline suffered a brief dip following the absence of their Brazilian defender, however, they've secured two shutouts in their past four , boasting 9 already with not even the campaign's midpoint completed.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in only three home games campaign. The strikes they conceded came from a Manchester City superstar, a long-range effort from Tottenham's forward and a surprise goal from Wolves' attacker.

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

We're opting for a three-pronged on the Gunners' backline.

As well as being the top defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have drawn a blank in their last two games.

Brighton have scored just nine goals in eight fixtures away from home.

Timber continues to be a reliable choice every week , possessing more offensive potential since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points over his last four starts, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Anfield assets for this fixture if allowed.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out once again in 17 games during Saturday's two-nil defeat at Molineux to the Bees.

They have scored just 9 goals this campaign, with only two away from home. It represents one of the safest shutout bet possible.

Omar Alderete, Sunderland, £4m – vs Leeds (H).

Even with Leeds United's better goalscoring upturn – and the form of their striker – the pick is a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

It would be a third consecutive , with Alderete is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. You can select him with assurance across many fixtures, due to his regular defensive contribution returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a bigger role for Manchester United in the next few games, following Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, United boast the best xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle team who have struggled on the road – with just one win in seven.

Mount may inherit many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and might play in the number 10 role.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a major point return and a home match versus Wolves being a perfect opportunity for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns across his past four games – a pair of assists plus a defensive contribution display.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, the highest among all his teammates, while his xG stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's current form cannot be overlooked.

He is Villa's talisman, who can creating a strike from the smallest room inside the area.

An away trip to Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a tough assignment, but Villa have won at that ground on two occasions in the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Because of his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals in three games, Ekitike receives the double-points role this week.

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

One cannot consider dropping Haaland, but with him having a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to pass over him for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
