The quantity of Liverpool selections are you able to fit inside your squad in the upcoming gameweek?

Jurgen Klopp's side are coming off two consecutive victories and boast a red-hot forward in their French frontman preparing for a encounter with Wolves that are heading towards an abysmal Premier League seasons ever.

For managers who kept a few of your AFCON transfers , with the funds to reinvest by replacing the sidelined Manchester United's playmaker, then assets from Anfield options should be your top priority.

This weekly selection is assembled using present Fantasy Premier League costs to stay under a 100 million pound budget, mirroring you were playing a Free Hit chip.

A Look Back at The Previous Team?

Captain Manchester City's striker (a huge score) , combined with the productive pair of Bournemouth's forward (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman propelled the squad to a respectable total – with a bonus a 10-point cameo from Antonee Robinson off the bench.

This Week's Fantasy Premier League Selection for Gameweek 18

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The North London side's defence had a minor wobble following the absence of their Brazilian defender, but they have secured two clean sheets recently , with 9 so far with less than the campaign's midpoint gone.

Mikel Arteta's side have conceded in all but three home games this season. The strikes they conceded came from Erling Haaland, a long-range strike from Tottenham's forward , plus a surprise goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

It's a three-pronged on the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit in the game, recording shutouts in more than half of their fixtures, they host a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have failed to score in their last two matches.

The South Coast club have a mere 9 strikes from eight fixtures away from home.

Timber continues to be a reliable choice every week , possessing greater attacking upside now he is right-back.

Hincapie has registered defensive contribution points over his last four starts, including a pair of shutouts.

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

I'd pick six Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves were shut out for the 10th time in 17 games during a recent 2-0 home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have only managed 9 strikes in total, including two away from home. This is one of the safest clean sheet prospect possible.

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

Regardless of the Yorkshire club's improved offensive form – highlighted by their striker – I'm backing a Sunderland clean sheet on home soil.

That would mark a third consecutive , with Alderete becoming an outstanding value defender option. Managers can field him with assurance in most games, thanks to his consistent 'defcon' returns.

Midfield

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

The English midfielder is expected to take on a bigger part for Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, following their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

Over the past three games, United have generated the best xG statistically by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle team who have not excelled on the road – with just one win in their last seven.

Mount may take over many of the injured star's creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, potentially operate as an attacking midfielder.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a significant score and a home match against Wolves representing the prime opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has registered attacking returns in three of his past four games – a pair of assists and one 'defcon' performance.

During that spell he's made 10 chances, a team-high of any his teammates, and his expected goals stands at 0.88.

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

With 30 points in two games, Rogers' current form is impossible to ignore.

He is Aston Villa's key attacker, capable of scoring a strike from half a yard of space inside the area.

A fixture at Stamford Bridge could be viewed as a difficult assignment, but Villa have won there twice during the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Due to facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for a starting spot, coupled with scored a five-goal haul in three games, the French striker receives the captaincy this week.

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

There's no benching Haaland, although with him having a tougher away game this week, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham United, £7.6m
