Should you have held onto a few of your Africa Cup of Nations transfers , and possess the cash to reinvest following the injury to the injured Manchester United's playmaker, in that case assets from Anfield picks ought to be your top priority.

A Look Back at Our Recent Team?

The FPL Ideal Squad for the Upcoming Round

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

Arsenal's backline suffered a minor wobble in the wake of an injury to their Brazilian defender, however, they've secured two shutouts in their past four , with 9 to their name with less than the campaign's midpoint completed.

The Emirates Stadium outfit have let in goals in only three matches at home campaign. Those goals were scored by a Manchester City superstar, a wondrous strike from Tottenham's forward and a surprise goal from Tolu Arokodare.

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

This week features a triple selection from the Gunners' defence.

As well as being the strongest defensive unit in FPL, recording shutouts in over 50% of their fixtures, they host a Brighton team who have not found the net in their past two games.

Brighton have scored just 9 goals from eight away games.

Timber is a steady pick every week and has increased offensive potential now he is the full-back role.

The Ecuadorian has collected defensive contribution points in four consecutive appearances, featuring a pair of shutouts.

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

Managers would love six Liverpool assets this week if the rules permitted.

Wolves drew another blank once again so far in Saturday's two-nil home loss to the Bees.

The Midlands side have scored just 9 strikes all season, with only two away from home. That makes this one of the safest shutout bet available.

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

Regardless of Leeds United's recent goalscoring upturn – highlighted by their striker – the pick is a Sunderland shutout at home.

That would mark their third in a row , with the Paraguayan defender is cementing himself as an outstanding budget defender option. You can start him confidently in most games, due to his consistent 'defcon' returns.

Midfielders

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

Mount will likely assume a bigger responsibility for Old Trafford in the next few games, with their Portuguese maestro suffering an injury.

In their last three matches, Erik ten Hag's team boast the best xG in the league by a significant margin – 8.78 against second-best Leeds' 5.68.

They welcome a Newcastle United team that has not excelled on the road – with just one win in seven.

The former Chelsea man may assume many of Fernandes' creative responsibilities, particularly on set-pieces, potentially feature as an attacking midfielder.

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

Wirtz is poised for a significant score and a fixture at Anfield versus Wolves presenting the prime opportunity for that to happen.

Wirtz has delivered returns in three of four recent fixtures – two assists plus a 'defcon' display.

Over that time he has created 10 chances, the most among all Liverpool, and his xG stands at 0.88.

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

After recording 30 points over two matches, Rogers' hot streak is impossible to ignore.

He's Villa's key attacker, with an ability to creating a goal with minimal space inside the area.

A fixture to Chelsea might seem a tough assignment, the Birmingham club have emerged victorious there twice during the past three seasons.

Strikers

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

Given facing an abysmal Wolves side, a lack of competition for a starting spot, coupled with bagged five goals over three matches, Ekitike receives the captaincy this week.

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

There's no dropping Haaland, however with him having a more difficult fixture on the road in this round, we are opting to pass over him for the armband.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m
