After Man City got the better of Arsenal at the Etihad, we’re treated to a pair of 4.30pm encounters as the curtain comes down on Gameweek 11.

Chelsea’s clash with Man United at Stamford Bridge sees two of the top seven Fantasy Premier League captains go head-to-head.

Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata have been handed the armband by 17.9% and 2.8% respectively, though both have struggled for form and failed to score in three of their last four league appearances.

After bagging a first double-digit haul of the season last week, Eden Hazard could emerge as a differential – he looks likely to be handed a central role due to the return of N’Golo Kante.

Lukaku was the most sold player ahead of Gameweek 11, having failed to score in his last six in all competitions.

Yet with back-to-back home matches against Newcastle and Brighton preceding a trip to Watford, interest will surely pick up again over the break.

Everton and Watford collide at Goodison in the other fixture.

While the Toffees’ shambolic start to the season has ensured that most of us steer clear, the Hornets’ Richarlison goes into this one heavily backed.

Over 16% of FPL managers have acquired the young Brazilian, who has served up three goals, two assists and 36 of his 51 FPL points away from home.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Thoughts on Jesus, Davies and Ritchie to Mee, Lukaku and Richarlison for a -4?

    Leaves me with no City but comfortable with that for now.

    1. Cojiro

      Nope. City best attacking team in league with good fixtures. U need more city if anything

      Amazed you don't have one of Sterling, Sane or Silva yet

      Put down the mouse and step away from the keyboard ....

      Haha I thought I'd get this.

      I'd have to ditch one of Salah or Hazard to get a City midfielder.

    My captain scores in all gws - 26, 12, 2, 12, 4, 22, 12, 4, 2, 10, 4 = 110...

    If i had captained the highest scorer - 26, 12, 22, 12, 20, 26, 32, 26, 32, 16, 16 = 240

    My Kane captain scores were 4,4,4 and 2... While i missed captaining him for his 13 and 16 hauls..

    No wonder i m jumping off now.. Anyone else doing worse??

    1. Rik Waller

      It's the same for most mate. He hauled in difficult games and blanked in easy ones. Bad luck for everyone

      Pretty sure an awful lot of people have those Kane(c) no-scores for those "plum" home fixtures.

      Kane non-owners the big winners

    The Man City game could’ve been a disaster but ended well. I have Aguero, Jesus and Silva. The Sterling/Sane combo should’ve had a goal and assist each before Kun did anything and Jesus wasn’t even on the pitch. Very relieved 🙂

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      sterling cost jesus a lot of points today

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He certainly cost his own and Sane owners

      2. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        sane*

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Feel quite lucky as a Silva & Jesus owner.

      Might just stick with Silva and buy a new couch.

    3. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You reckon Kun is worth the extra 1.2mn over Jesus give they both not nailed?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I’d say so, seems Kun in number one

    4. Jay_
        8 years, 4 months ago

        So true. Us Jesus and Silva owners were so lucky. Could have been a massive swing

      • Freddo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Kun going off at 60 and Jesus scoring means that brief flirtation with Pep's mood of the day is now over.

        Welcome back flat track bullying Romelu.

    5. le flem

      Best Burnley defender other than Ward?

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee.

      2. chilli con kone
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee

      3. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee is better than Ward.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          He actually isnt

        2. HNI
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Is he?
          Isnt Ward very attacking and thus better fpl wise?

          1. T C
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Mee has a higher Threat stat, he's due a goal.

      4. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee or Pope

      5. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee

        1. le flem
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Cool all.

      6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Mee due a set piece goal

    6. chilli con kone

      8 years, 4 months ago

      Alonso owners -

      Are you selling or keeping?

      Annoying that he doesn't get any bonus without attacking returns.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years

        Ship man get azpi

      2. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Keeping.

        They’ve started keeping CS’s, Kante’s back and he still has more shots than any other defender in the league.

      3. Freddo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Keeping, B2B clean sheets mean Chelsea are getting back on track, they have a very long run of nice fixtures soon.

        Thought he got forward a fair bit today, I'm sure returns will follow.

      4. XabiAlonso

        Keep saying it but 1 more week

      How did Kabasele injury look? Any chance Mariappa plays next match?

      Have Exact Money now for

      1)Jesus+Oatamendi-->>Kun + Ward(bur)
      Pull trigger
      or
      2) let intnl break go and buy Mee?
      Is Ward really worth extra 0.3mn over Mee?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        2), No

      2. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        1) Good moves but wait
        2) not worth extra no.

    9. camarozz

      The feckers took Richarlsons bap.

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        for good reason. he gives the ball away more than anyone ive seen

    10. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I had a really good WC 3 weeks back but I'll never forgive myself for going Alonso(who I then moved out for otamendi) over Azpi

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        1,0,1
        Ota gets 15 the week I don't have him, Alonso back to back cleanies after I drop and Azpi on 27

        25 pts swing on timing, wasted my premium spot

      2. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I WC'ed Alonso out for Azpi a few weeks back to save funds and felt I'd miss out because of it. Funny how this game works.

      3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Not on WC same move bro. Get azpi season keeper

    11. JJeyy

      Anyone doubling up burnley defence?

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I’ve got Pope and Mee but keep benching one of them.

        I’ll learn my lesson soon....

        1. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yep same, only played both once against West Ham - that ended well. Playing them both next week so Swans will get a goal!

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I started both last week, but went for Elliot this, 30 sec away from paying off

      3. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Me, Pope in for flappyhandski to go with ward

    12. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      actually disappointed with 60, given I captained the wrong player and had a really good Saturday. Thought the search for a place in the top 10k was finally on, but now set back around 340,000 places where I was just around 260,000 places behind it yesterday makes it an annoying week, but at least I'm making progress.

      The points I would've got if I captained Salah and actually had the guts to do so..

    13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If Otamendi gets another 5 bookings he misses another 2 games, right?

      1. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yep

    14. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Bench one

      A) Abraham (bur)
      B) Zaha (EVE)
      C) Gross (STK)
      D) Richarlison (WHU)
      E) D. Silva (lei)

        Cheers. Sensible choice for sure.

    15. fattfattygavgav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Any thoughts on bakayoko? Looked threatening tonight and quite an advanced role from midfield.

      1. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Avoid

      2. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        No

        1. fattfattygavgav
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough, just he looked most threatening player for Chelsea tonight. Not seen much of him though.

      3. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Would rather RLC for less, holding mids are a no go in fpl

        1. fattfattygavgav
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          He wasn't playing holding mid tonight. He was further advanced than morata alot of the time.

    16. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Man feels so good when a player in the team you support gives your fpl team a helping hand, Salah and now Mane locked in for the foreseeable

      1. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Hmmm Mane is good but Liverpool double up is surely preventing enough city players?

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Got Sane and Aguero so should have enough

          1. Cojiro
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Yep, well played.

      2. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Other side of it is it makes it twice as bad when it goes wrong!

        Last minute goal was a nightmare yesterday.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          True, would be hoping my other assets dig me out of trouble if things go pear shaped.

      3. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        It's a good move, and one I'm considering because I started the season with those two and because my transfer in this week was Alli, so Mane fits in nicely too if he's injured.

    17. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      My gamble paid off this week. Rarely does a -4 pay off for me but happy with silva and Monreal to salah and Daniels

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years

        • 11 Years

        I’m in same situation. I think it was concussion so fingers crossed he’s ok

    19. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      When is Heaton coming back?
      Worth going Pope on WC?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        New Years last I heard and yes, hopefully pope rises enough for us owners to be able to afford Heaton upon return

        1. Speédy
          • 9 Years

          Cheers mate

      Yesterday 15 points above average.Today only 5.

    21. Freddo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone selling Davies, wait, Rose has to survive two weeks with England before Davies become a full on rotation risk.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Son and Aurier can operate at Davies position. He’s going to be rotated regardless.

      2. QueefParkRangers
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Got rid of him, bored of him not starting

    22. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This Spurs at Wembley issue is a real problem. What’s the deal? There’s something really wrong when you’re not confident in captaining Kane against Palace at “home”. I was more or less certain that he’d blank today, so I opted for Kun.

      Time to sell Harry?

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Today was more about the team Spurs put out. Five first teamers missing.

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Third or fourth time this has happened now. It’s not just about today imo.

      2. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        They beat Madrid 3-0 at Wembley so...

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          It was 3-1.

          1. Cojiro
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            My mistake. Better sell Kane then :-p

        2. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Guess I’ll have him for the Spurs vs City fixture then...

      3. Hotdogs for Tea

        Yip sell

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Are you? I’ve had him from week 1 but I’m seriously thinking of letting him go if I’m not confident in captaining him against Palace, Burnley, Swansea at home. WBA up next at Wembley. 2 points incoming.

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Of course not, I was being ironic. I will just leaving him there and chose a C between Morata Lukaku and Kane

            1. Oven Glover

              Kane & Kanu are poor value if not being captained imo. Frustrating.

                Kanu 🙂 Kaku of course.

                Cold hard points over value any day - points are permanent, value is temporary .... Lukaku, Kane, Morata 65, 64, 63 points respectively - i’ll take my chance that the cream will rise to the top by the end of the season ....

        It is quite difficult to beat teams that come to nick the game 1-0. Spurs should look to get more out of Eriksen and give him more creative responsibility IMO.

          That’s the odd thing. Everyone’s talking about Lukaku being a flat track bully against weak opposition. Those lesser teams should have the same agenda going up against United away. Yet, he finds a way to put a couple past them. Usually around the 80 minute mark.

      Monreal, Eriksen, Abraham > Mee, RLC, Lukaku(C) for a hit

      Yay or Nay?

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        My current line-up is:

        DDG Elliot
        Otamendi Monreal Jones Naughton Long
        Eriksen Salah DSilva Richarlison Tarroll
        Kane Morata Abraham

          Yup, not gonna do any transfers that soon, but still wanted to ask for some opinions.

            Ok. Decent moves long term imo.

            I feel it unbalances your team too much, not ideal having to either play 2 4.5m defs every week or one of RLC or Carroll

              • 14 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              You once said that you like my eventual team. 😀

              DDG
              Otamendi Jones Mee
              Salah DSilva Richarlison RLC
              Kane Kaku Morata

              Elliot Tarroll Naughton Long

              Will look like these when Ota's back. The moves will leave me 0.3ITB and could upgrade Naughton > Daniels or someone else.

                If you've got someone like Daniels as an option who can play every week due to attacking threat then yes, worth going for it. It's just the double of Naughton and Mee that I don't like. Midfield and forwards are obviously great.

        Yeah, could pay off.

          How to bring Kaku then? What to do with my defence?

      I was all set on bringing back Lukaku for Newcastle at home but I'm really not sure after tonight's display.
      United looked so short of ideas going forward and don't look worth investment until maybe Pogba returns.
      Newcastle and Brighton have also looked like they will keep plenty more clean sheets this season.
      Glad I've 2 weeks to decide.
      Thinking Kane, Morata and Tammy might be worth sticking with a bit longer.

        That's been on my mind too - everyone seems convinced that hauls are on the cards over the next few games.

        But without Pogba, I'm not so sure. Both Newcastle a

          ....and Brighton are capable of keeping things tight at the back.

        same here, was going to switch morata for Lukaku but unless the spaniard gets injured I wont do it

        I think if you have him you keep but if you haven't I'm not sure he is worth bringing in at the moment.

          Seriously though, do you really think anyone on here has a handle on price rises for a long list of 15 players over a 2 week International break? And if any one does answer, are you reallt going to act upon it ?

          You might as well is ask for the winning lottery ticket number for next week 😉
