The quantity of The Reds selections are you able to accommodate inside your lineup for this round?

The Merseyside club have secured two consecutive victories , featuring a red-hot attacker in their French frontman going into a encounter with a struggling Wolves side currently tracking for an abysmal Premier League campaigns in history.

Should you have held onto a few of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , and possess the cash to upgrade by replacing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield options must be the main consideration.

This ideal squad is constructed according to current Fantasy Premier League prices to comply with a £100m spending limit, simulating using a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at The Previous Team?

Skipper Erling Haaland (a massive haul) and the hot pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman led the team to a respectable total – with a bonus a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson from the replacements.

Our FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 18

Keeper and Defence

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

The North London side's backline had a minor wobble following an injury to Gabriel, but they have secured two shutouts in their past four , boasting 9 already before half the season gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in all but three fixtures at the Emirates this season. Those goals came from a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

We're opting for a triple-up from the Arsenal backline.

Not only are they the top defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in the majority of their matches, they face a Brighton side that has failed to score in their last two outings.

The South Coast club have a mere nine goals in eight matches on the road.

The Dutch defender remains a steady option every week , with increased attacking upside now he is right-back.

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

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

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

Wolves failed to score for the tenth occasion in 17 games during Saturday's two-nil home loss to Brentford.

The Midlands side have a paltry nine strikes all season, with only a couple away from home. That makes this one of the safest clean sheet bet available.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's better offensive form – including the performances of Dominic Calvert-Lewin – we're selecting a Stadium of Light shutout at home.

It would be a third in a row , with Alderete establishing himself as an outstanding value defensive pick. Managers can select him regularly in most games, due to his regular defensive contribution points.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder will likely assume a key part at Manchester United in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro being sidelined.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team have generated the best expected goals (xG) across the Premier League by a significant margin – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle team who have struggled in away matches – with just one win in their last seven.

Mount is likely to assume a large share of the injured star's creative responsibilities, particularly from dead-ball situations, potentially operate 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 Wolves presenting an ideal opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has posted points in three of his last four fixtures – two assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period he has created 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).

Boasting 30 points across two gameweeks, Rogers' form is impossible to ignore.

He's Aston Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to scoring a strike from the smallest space in the box.

An away trip at Chelsea might seem a challenging assignment, but Villa have won there twice during recent years.

Strikers

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, and having notched five goals in three games, the French striker gets the double-points role for this round.

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

There's no benching the Norwegian goal machine, although because he has a more difficult away game this week, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
