Gameweek 11 serves up a half-dozen early-afternoon kick-offs for Fantasy managers to sink their teeth into. The top four scoring sides this term are all in action, with Manchester City’s home tie against Norwich City shaping up to be a Fantasy goldmine.

Over the last four Gameweeks, Man City ranked second for goals (12), big chances (12) and shots on target (31), despite drawing 0-0 with Manchester United last time out. Moreover, the Sky Blues have tallied six more goals (17) and 10 more shots on target (43) in their home clashes than any other team, highlighting their dominance at the Etihad. Ally this with the fact that Norwich City rank second for goals conceded (13) and first for shots inside the box conceded (58) in road fixtures, and the Canaries could be in for a long afternoon.

Arsenal go in pursuit of their fifth successive win when they lock horns with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium. The Gunners have dominated the attacking metrics in the last four Gameweeks – ranking top for goals (13), shots inside the box (60) and big chances (14) – and will be encouraged in the knowledge that only five teams conceded more shots inside the box than Swansea (34) over that same period. There’s also scope for the Swans to improve in the final third, given that only Watford (eight) and Aston Villa (10) chalked up fewer attempts on target (12).

The unstoppable force meets the immovable object as Leicester City make the trip to West Bromwich Albion. The Foxes chart third for goals scored (20) this campaign and haven’t drawn a blank in 10 Gameweeks. In addition, only two teams have netted more goals in road fixtures (nine) than Claudio Ranieri’s troops. The Baggies, meanwhile, rank top for clean sheets (five) since Gameweek 4 and only conceded in one of their five home match-ups – so something’s got to give.

Crystal Palace will look to secure just their third win in seven outings when they play host to Manchester United, who’ve notched three shut-outs in four matches. Newcastle look to dispel their derby-day blues as they invite Stoke City to St James’ Park, having put six past Norwich in their last home encounter. Watford’s head-to-head with West Ham United at Vicarage Road caps off the day’s Premier League action, with the visitors striving to extend their seven-game unbeaten streak.

        As a neutral I normally back the underdog, but never Australia. Or South Africa.

  5. BenDavies
    • 12 Years

    I have 2 FT's. I want to get Costa and Hazard out of my team. Who would you suggest I transfer in?

    1. theeribert
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy or Ighalo
      Ozil

    2. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane/Ozil?

    3. JonnyOnionRings
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on who you have. Could get Kane/Lukaku/Pelle/Giroud. Then KDB/Silva/Sanchez/Mahrez/Ozil. And Vardy

  6. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    44 with Pelle and Mane(C) to go. I can't believe how high the average is

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years

    46 + Pelle half happy with that. Shame about the missed pen really.

  10. Live Lad
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry to repost guys.. Help needed.

    Butland
    Smalling, Bellerin, Cedric
    KDB (vc), Sanchez, Mahrez, Payet
    Bony, Pelle, Vardy (c)

    Subs: Mc, Ayew??, Dawson, Richards

    I kept Ayew for the Norwich game onward but Mahrez seems unbenchable (I know there is no such word).

    Really want to save the FT for the international break. I could sort out my bench though:

    (1) McCarthy (out) Hennessy / Elliot (in)
    (2) Richards (out) Nyom/ Ward (in)
    (3) Dawson (out) Moreno (in)
    (4) Save

    Am I correct to bench Ayew? Might as well sell him if I can't use him against a team that can't keep a CS?

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      keep an eye on how Villa get on Monday and then maybe consider benching Bony.
      save the FT.
      although with a load of european games coming up this week don't rush to make a transfer.

      1. Live Lad
        • 10 Years

        Thanks mate. Will do.

  11. BenjaniMwaruwari
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Succesfully benched Sanchez, wanted to play both Mahrez and Ighalo 😎

    Some might call it dumb luck...I got balls though!

    1. Live Lad
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A very clever move..

            1. ☆Khaz
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Then either sell and downgrade someone now, or keep rotating (with the inherent risk of benching points) until Aguero is fit and you need money for the Kun-upgrade.

    2. The Royal Robin

      Payet.

    Is Ake nailed now?

  22. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    29 after bonus from 6. Mahrez on the bench. One of my three defenders didn't play. (Hangeland). My other two defenders are u Cameron (Injured) and O'Shea (doubtful and away to Everton). Should have clicked AOA this morning but bottled it.

    Got 4 strong players left in Toby, Mane, Kane (C) and Pelle though. Still a chance of a decent score.

  23. FootballManiac

    Is henessey nailed?
