The quantity of The Reds players are you able to accommodate inside your lineup in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side have notched a pair of triumphs , with a in-form forward in their French frontman ahead of a encounter with Wolves who are on course for a historically poor Premier League campaigns on record.

For managers who kept a few of your AFCON transfers , and possess the budget to upgrade by replacing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, consequently assets from Anfield picks should be your top priority.

This weekly selection is chosen according to current FPL prices to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

A Look Back at Our Recent Team?

Skipper Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , alongside the hot pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) plus Hugo Ekitike propelled the team to a handsome 82 points – enhanced by a 10-point performance from Fulham's defender off the bench.

Our FPL Ideal Squad for Matchday 18

Goalkeeper & Defence

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

The North London side's defence suffered a brief dip following the absence of their Brazilian defender, yet they've secured two shutouts recently and have 9 to their name with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in only three matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous effort from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise header from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a three-pronged on the Gunners' backline.

Not only are they the best defence in FPL, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has not found the net in their past two games.

Brighton have a mere 9 goals across eight fixtures away from home.

The Dutch defender continues to be a solid pick every week , possessing increased goal threat since returning to right-back.

Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in four consecutive starts, including a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Anfield players this week if possible.

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

They have a paltry nine strikes in total, including two on the road. This is a very secure clean sheet opportunity imaginable.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – and the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the pick is a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

That would mark a third consecutive and the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as an outstanding low-cost defensive pick. Managers can field him regularly in most games, due to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfielders

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

Mount should play a bigger part for Old Trafford in the next few games, following Bruno Fernandes being sidelined.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the greatest expected goals (xG) in the league by a comfortable distance – 8.78 versus the next best Leeds United's 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle side that has struggled away from home – with just one win from seven attempts.

Mount may assume many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, and might feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is due a significant score and a home match against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns across four recent fixtures – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution performance.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, a team-high of any Liverpool, while his expected goals totals 0.88.

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

Boasting 30 points in two games, the midfielder's hot streak demands attention.

He's Aston Villa's main goal threat, capable of scoring a strike with the smallest room in the box.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge might seem a difficult proposition, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there on two occasions in the past three seasons.

Forwards

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no competition for his place, coupled with scored a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker gets the double-points role for this round.

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

It is unthinkable to dropping the Norwegian goal machine, however with him having a tricky away game in this round, the choice is to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
