How many The Reds players can you fit in your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

For managers who kept a portion of your Africa Cup of Nations free transfers and have the cash to upgrade following the injury to the sidelined Bruno Fernandes, consequently assets from Anfield options ought to be the primary focus.
This ideal squad is assembled using latest FPL prices to stay under a 100 million pound budget, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit.
Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) , alongside the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman propelled the team to a handsome score – enhanced by a 10-point cameo from Fulham's defender as a substitute.
David Raya, the Gunners, goalkeeper, £6m – vs Brighton (H).
The North London side's defence experienced a brief dip in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, but they have recorded two clean sheets over their last four matches , boasting nine to their name with not even half the season completed.
Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in just a handful of fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a unexpected goal from Tolu Arokodare.
Jurrien Timber (£6.5m) and Piero Hincapie (£5.5m), the Gunners – vs the Seagulls (H).
It's a triple-up on the Arsenal backline.
As well as being the strongest defence statistically, recording shutouts in more than half of their matches, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's side that has failed to score in two consecutive matches.
Brighton have only managed 9 strikes in eight matches on the road.
Timber remains a reliable choice every week , with more attacking upside operating as the full-back role.
Hincapie has registered 'defcon' points in his past four starts, featuring two clean sheets.
Virgil van Dijk, the Reds, £5.9m – vs Wolves (H).
Managers would love six Anfield assets this week if possible.
Wolves failed to score for the 10th time in 17 games during Saturday's two-nil home loss to the Bees.
They have only managed 9 goals all season, including two on the road. That makes this as safe a clean sheet opportunity possible.
Omar Alderete, the Black Cats, £4m – vs Leeds (H).
Even with the Yorkshire club's recent goalscoring upturn – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Sunderland shutout at home.
It would be a third in a row and Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding low-cost defender option. You can start him with assurance in most games, given his potential for defensive contribution returns.
Mason Mount, Manchester United, £5.9m – vs Newcastle United (H).
The English midfielder should play a significant role at Old Trafford in the next few games, following their Portuguese maestro out injured.
Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the best xG statistically by a comfortable distance – 8.78 compared to the next best Leeds United's 5.68.
They face a Newcastle United team that has not excelled away from home – managing a single victory in their last seven.
The former Chelsea man could well assume a large share of the injured star's playmaking duties, particularly from dead-ball situations, and could feature behind the striker.
Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.1m – vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H).
The German playmaker is poised for a major point return , with a home match versus Wolves presenting the prime scenario for that to happen.
Wirtz has delivered returns in three of four recent games – a pair of assists and one defensive contribution performance.
Over that time he has created 10 chances, the most of any his teammates, and his expected goals totals 0.88.
Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £7.2m – vs the Blues (A).
After recording 30 points over two matches, the midfielder's hot streak cannot be overlooked.
He's Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of creating a strike from the smallest space inside the area.
An away trip at Stamford Bridge may appear a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious at that ground in two of the last three campaigns.
Hugo Ekitike (Captain), the Reds, £8.9m – vs Wolves (H).
Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of rivalry for a starting spot, and having scored a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike receives the double-points role for this round.
Erling Haaland, City, £15.1m – vs Nottingham Forest (A).
There's no dropping the Norwegian goal machine, however because he has a tougher fixture on the road this week, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
