Fantasy Premier League – FPL Gameweek 11 Picks

5261

There are now only nine Premier League fixtures in Gameweek 11, with Newcastle’s trip to Aston Villa postponed due a coronavirus outbreak within the Magpies’ camp.

Needless to say, if you have any players from either of those club’s in your Fantasy Football team, get them out!

The new transfer deadline for Gameweek 11 is 11:00 (GMT) on Saturday, December 5. Here are the upcoming fixtures.

• Burnley vs. Everton

• Manchester City vs. Fulham

• West Ham vs. Manchester United

• Chelsea vs. Leeds United

• West Brom vs. Crystal Palace

• Sheffield United vs. Leicester City

• Tottenham vs. Arsenal

• Liverpool vs. Wolves

• Brighton vs. Southampton

Sheff Utd are now the only winless team left in the Premier League this season, following West Brom’s victory over the Blades last weekend.

Joint-leaders Tottenham and Liverpool face tough tests against Arsenal and Wolves respectively, while third-place Chelsea host Leeds.

At the other end of the table, fourth-bottom Fulham will be looking to build on their impressive win against fourth-place Leicester last time out.

Goalkeepers

Casper Schmeichel may have conceded twice in Monday’s shock defeat to Fulham, but with the division’s lowest scorers – Sheff Utd – up next for Leicester, the Dane will be confident of keeping a clean sheet this weekend.

Southampton have a made an excellent start to the season, with Alex McCarthy playing a pivotal role between the sticks. Saints come up against low-scoring Brighton on Monday before facing Sheff Utd in Gameweek 12. McCarthy has four clean sheets this term – second only Chelsea’s Edouard Mendy.

Defenders

Ben Chilwell has become a key component in Chelsea’s backline, contributing two goals and two assists already this term. He has also kept multiple shutouts, making him a threat both in defence and going forward.

Alongside McCarthy in Southampton’s backline, Jan Bednarek has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2020/21 campaign. The centre-back scored last weekend and is a guaranteed starter in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team.

Benjamin Mendy scored and kept a clean sheet for Man City last time out. Pep Guardiola’s side will be hopeful of extending their winning run when lowly Fulham visit the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Midfielders

Kevin De Bruyne appeared to be back to his best in Man City’s 5-0 thrashing of Burnley last time out. The Belgian picked up two assists, taking his tally to one goal and five assists in eight league appearances.

Of course, De Bruyne is a pricey pick. If you’re searching for a solid budget option, look no further than Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze. The youngster has made a strong start to his Eagles career, with manager Roy Hodgson clearly favoring him.

Riyad Mahrez (Man City), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), and Pedro Neto (Wolves) were among the highest scoring midfielders in Gameweek 10, with Mahrez bagging a hat-trick.

Forwards

Edinson Cavani was the surprise hero for Man Utd last weekend. The Uruguayan was the top-scoring forward in FLP in Gameweek 10, notching up two goals and an assist against Saints.

Jamie Vardy will be eager to return to scoring ways when Leicester face struggling Sheff Utd on Sunday, while a reformed Danny Welbeck seems to have become an important player for Brighton.

With Sergio Aguero continuing to recover from injury, Gabriel Jesus looks set to lead the line for Man City again this weekend.

It is worth pointing out that Dominic Calvert Lewin (Everton) and Son Heung-min (Tottenham) sit at the top of the Premier League scoring charts, with 10 and nine goals respectively.
