Fantasy football fans, brace yourselves! Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike has been blazing a trail, and if you haven't considered him for your team yet, it's time to wake up. This guy's been scoring goals like they're going out of style, and with Wolves looking like they're having their worst season ever, it might just be the perfect storm for Ekitike to shine.

Liverpool's Rising Star

So what's the deal with Liverpool? They've won their last two matches and with Ekitike on fire, it's no wonder the buzz around him is electric. Scored five goals in three games. No wonder he's got the captain's armband this week.

If you're looking to replace Bruno Fernandes due to his injury, Liverpool players should be at the top of your shopping list. And if you've got some Africa Cup of Nations transfers saved up, now's the time to use them.

Arsenal's Defensive Wall

Meanwhile, Arsenal's defense has been holding its own. Despite Gabriel's injury, they've managed two clean sheets in their last four games. Impressive, right? And with Brighton struggling to find the back of the net lately, Arsenal's triple defense strategy isn't just a gamble, it's a calculated risk worth taking.

Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie have been rock solid. Timber, back at right-back, adds an attacking edge, while Hincapie's defensive contributions have earned him points consistently. Arsenal might be the best defense in the game right now.

Liverpool and the Wolves

Virgil van Dijk is another solid pick from Liverpool, especially given Wolves' dismal scoring record. They've failed to score in ten out of seventeen games and only managed two goals on the road. Betting on a Liverpool clean sheet seems about as safe as it gets.

Sunderland's Surprise Package

Omar Alderete from Sunderland could be your budget defensive hero. With Sunderland eyeing a third consecutive clean sheet, and Alderete proving his worth, he's a smart choice for those looking to save some cash.

Midfield Maestros

In midfield, Manchester United's Mason Mount is stepping into the spotlight. With the absence of Bruno Fernandes, Mount's set to take on more creative responsibilities. Plus, United's recent form has seen them leading the league in expected goals.

Florian Wirtz of Liverpool is another one to watch. He's been creating chances left and right, and against Wolves, he might just deliver a standout performance.

Attacking Options

Up front, Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa can't be ignored. With 30 points in just two games, his form speaks for itself. Despite an away game at Chelsea, Villa has a decent track record there, making Rogers a worthwhile consideration.

And of course, there's Erling Haaland. Although he's facing a tougher away game, dropping him from your team would be madness.

Finally, Jarrod Bowen of West Ham might not be the trendiest pick, but his move to striker has paid off. With Fulham missing key defender Calvin Bassey, Bowen has a golden opportunity to further boost his stats.
