The quantity of The Reds selections are you able to squeeze in your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have secured back-to-back wins , featuring a in-form forward in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with Wolves who are heading towards one of the worst top-flight campaigns on record.

For managers who held onto a few of your AFCON transfers and have the funds to spend following the injury to the unavailable Bruno Fernandes, consequently assets from Anfield players should be the main consideration.

The ideal squad is assembled based on present Fantasy Premier League valuations to stay under a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring activating a one-week wildcard.

What Was the Performance of The Previous Squad?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a massive haul) and the productive duo of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) and Liverpool's frontman propelled the squad to a handsome 82 points – supplemented by a double-digit performance from Fulham's defender off the bench.

The FPL Selection for Matchday 18

Keeper & Defence

David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £6m – vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H).

The North London side's defence experienced a minor wobble in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches and have nine to their name with not even half the season gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous effort from Richarlison , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

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

As well as being the strongest defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have drawn a blank in their last two matches.

The South Coast club have scored just nine strikes from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber is a reliable choice each gameweek and has more attacking upside operating as right-back.

The Ecuadorian has registered defensive contribution points over his last four appearances, which included two clean sheets.

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if possible.

Gary O'Neil's team were shut out for the tenth occasion in 17 games during a recent 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals all season, with only a couple away from home. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity available.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

This would secure their third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as a prime value defender option. You can field him confidently across many fixtures, given his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a key role for Old Trafford in the next few games, due to Bruno Fernandes suffering an injury.

Recently, Erik ten Hag's team registered the highest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle side who have not excelled in away matches – with just a single victory from seven attempts.

The former Chelsea man is likely to assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially from dead-ball situations, potentially operate behind the striker.

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

Wirtz is poised for a significant score and a home match versus the struggling Wolves being the prime time for it.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of four recent games – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' display.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the highest among all Liverpool, and his expected goals is 0.88.

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

With 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's form cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's talisman, with an ability to scoring a strike with minimal room inside the area.

A fixture to Stamford Bridge might seem a difficult proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in recent years.

Forwards

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored five goals over three matches, the French striker gets the double-points role this week.

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

It is unthinkable to benching Haaland, however because he has a more difficult fixture on the road this week, we are opting to look elsewhere for captaincy.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
