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

The Merseyside club have notched back-to-back wins and boast a in-form striker in their French frontman going into a encounter with Wolves currently heading towards an abysmal top-flight seasons on record.

If you've kept a portion of your AFCON wildcards , and possess the funds to spend after losing the injured Manchester United's playmaker, consequently Liverpool options must be the primary focus.

This team of the week is constructed using latest FPL costs to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit.

A Look Back at The Previous Selection?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a huge score) , alongside the in-form duo of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) as well as Liverpool's frontman propelled the selection to a solid 82 points – enhanced by a double-digit cameo from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

Our FPL Ideal Squad for Gameweek 18

Keeper and Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline had a brief dip in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, yet they've secured two clean sheets over their last four matches , boasting 9 to their name before the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have conceded in all but three matches at home this season. Those goals came from Erling Haaland, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward and a unexpected header from Wolves' attacker.

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

It's a triple-up on the Gunners' backline.

They are the strongest defence in FPL, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side who have failed to score in their last two outings.

Brighton have scored just 9 goals from eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender remains a reliable choice every week and has more offensive potential since returning to right-back.

The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.

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

I'd pick half a dozen Anfield players this week if possible.

Wolves failed to score for the 10th time this season during Saturday's 2-0 home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals all season, with only two on the road. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet prospect available.

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

Despite the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – including the performances of their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet at home.

It would be their third in a row and the Paraguayan defender becoming the best value defensive pick. You can field him confidently in most games, thanks to his regular 'defcon' points.

Midfield

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

Mount is expected to take on a significant part at Manchester United in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

In their last three matches, United boast the greatest xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds' 5.68.

Their opponents are a Newcastle United side who have struggled in away matches – with just one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man could well assume a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, notably from dead-ball situations, potentially feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is on the verge of a major point return and a fixture at Anfield against the struggling Wolves representing a perfect time for it.

He has registered attacking returns in three out of four recent fixtures – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period he's made 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, and his xG totals 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' current form demands attention.

He is Villa's talisman, capable of producing a goal with the smallest space inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a tough proposition, but Villa have emerged victorious at that ground on two occasions in recent years.

Forwards

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

Due to his fixture, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with notched a five-goal haul over three matches, the French striker gets the double-points role this week.

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

There's no omitting the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a tricky fixture on the road this week, I'm willing to bet against him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
