For managers who held onto a portion of your AFCON free transfers , and possess the budget to reinvest after losing the unavailable Manchester United's playmaker, then Liverpool options ought to be your top priority.

The ideal squad is constructed based on present Fantasy Premier League costs to comply with a 100 million pound spending limit, mirroring activating a Free Hit.

How Did The Previous Selection?

Captain Erling Haaland (a huge score) , combined with the productive pair of Antoine Semenyo (10 points) plus Liverpool's frontman guided the squad to a handsome 82 points – with a bonus a double-digit contribution from Fulham's defender off the bench.

Our FPL Team of the Week for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper and Defenders

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

The North London side's backline suffered a brief dip in the wake of the absence of Gabriel, but they have secured two shutouts over their last four matches and have 9 to their name with not even the campaign's midpoint gone.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three matches at home this season. The strikes they conceded were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a spectacular effort from Richarlison , plus a late goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple-up on the Arsenal defence.

As well as being the best defensive unit statistically, with a clean sheet in more than half of their matches, they take on a Roberto De Zerbi's team who have not found the net in their last two outings.

Brighton have only managed 9 strikes in eight away games.

The Dutch defender is a solid pick every week and has more goal threat now he is right-back.

The Ecuadorian has earned 'defcon' points over his last four starts, which included a pair of shutouts.

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

One could select half a dozen Liverpool players for this fixture if the rules permitted.

Wolves drew another blank for the 10th time so far in Saturday's two-nil home loss to Brentford.

They have only managed nine goals this campaign, including a couple on the road. This is as safe a shutout opportunity imaginable.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's better goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – I'm backing a Stadium of Light clean sheet at home.

This would secure a third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender establishing himself as an outstanding value defensive pick. Managers can start him regularly across many fixtures, given his potential for defensive contribution returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount is expected to take on a bigger part at Old Trafford over the coming fixtures, due to Bruno Fernandes out injured.

Over the past three games, Erik ten Hag's team registered the highest xG statistically by over three goals – 8.78 compared to second-best Leeds United's 5.68.

They face a Newcastle United side who have not excelled in away matches – managing one win in their last seven.

Mount could well inherit many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, especially on set-pieces, potentially feature behind the striker.

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

The German playmaker is on the verge of a major point return and a home match versus Wolves representing a perfect scenario for that to happen.

He has posted points in three out of his past four games – two assists and one defensive contribution display.

In that period his chance creation stands at 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, while his expected goals is 0.88.

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

With 30 points across two gameweeks, the midfielder's hot streak cannot be overlooked.

He's Villa's main goal threat, with an ability to creating a strike with minimal room in the box.

An away trip at Stamford Bridge might seem a tough proposition, the Birmingham club have won there on two occasions in the last three campaigns.

Strikers

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

Because of facing an abysmal Wolves side, having no rivalry for his place, and having scored a five-goal haul in three games, Ekitike earns the captaincy this week.

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

There's no omitting Haaland, although because he has a tricky away game this week, I'm willing to pass over him with the captain's role.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
