The emerging FPL trends concerning Calvert-Lewin, Vardy and Fernandes

Seven-time top 10k finisher Zophar delves into our Premium Members Area to assess three well-owned FPL assets and reveals his Gameweek 11 team.

As I recoil from the sight of three Aston Villa players in my team who are suddenly without a fixture in Gameweek 11, I figured I would share some observations on some trends I have noticed over the past few weeks.

    Grealish > Jota free? I have my wildcard still so i'll be able to adequately prepare from the Villa DGWs and bring Jack back

    If not and Cancelo doesn't play, i'm stuck trusting Dallas (che) and Bissouma

      Arsenal lineup predictions?

      Nelson and AMN looking good yesterday.

      Would expect Tets to start with Willian and one of Xhaka and Ceballos, but would be nice to see the young guns in the derby:

      Leno
      Bellerin Holding Gabriel Tierney
      Elneny Partey*/AMN
      Nelson Lacazette Saka
      Aubameyang

      Runarsson, Mari, Cedric, AMN/Xhaka, Ceballos, Willian, Nketiah

      Luiz will probably be back ahead of Mari, though. Even ahead of Holding, potentially. Willock will likely get in there too, probably at the expense of AMN.

      Looking forward to seeing Chambers back in the squad, maybe the following game, if there's space. Pepe will be back the game after that. Smith Rowe might get his chance before the end of the year.

      Martinelli back in January, I guess, but hoping for a Christmas miracle. Then there's Saliba...

      And maybe Mustafi and Kolasinac need to be put in the shop window.

        Definitely wouldn't do free hit. Double Fulham is a bit bold but I'd maybe roll the transfer and go big next week by coming off Kane/Vardy?

        Not sure how you have done this to yourself - looks like the kind of supporting cast you would have around Mo,KDB or maybe Bruno not the whole thing.
        Areola out to another 4.5 will probably be a positive move.

        If he is rested means would not play for 11 days- he will in my view play and rested in CL ahead of derby game. Pep always talks about keeping the rhythm and he has said all concentration on PL

      McCarthy (Steer)

      Chilwell Lamptey Cresswell Justin (Mitchell)

      Mane KDB (C) Son (Grealish Bissouma)

      DCL Vardy Brewster

      Can I get away with rolling 1FT this week?

      Other options would be doing Grealish to either Jota or Mahrez as have .8 ITB?

      Seems to be a common trend of players being rushed back too early and getting injured again this season!!

      What would you do with this lot? Obviously I would like to get KDB in but not sure if I should just save now to have 2 FT next week to get in KDB and Grealish. I do also still have my wildcard...

      McCarthy
      Chilwell. Lamptey. Taylor
      Bruno. Son. Ziyech. Jota
      Kane. DCL. Vardy

      4.0. McCarthy. Dallas. 4.0

        In your position I would save. Ziyech or Son to KdB would be the move this week
