Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 11?

Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) looks to be the leading captain candidate yet again for Gameweek 11, but are there any viable alternatives to the Egyptian for this upcoming round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) action?

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 11 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Friday’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

As you can see from the current results, Mohamed Salah is the runaway leader of the Gameweek 11 captain poll, having accumulated just under 50% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

No other player has garnered more than 10% of votes at this stage, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m), fresh from his UEFA Champions League brace, in second backed by 8.19%.

Ivan Toney (£6.6m) occupies third-place with 7.86%, with Harry Kane (£12.1m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.0m) just behind, with 4.01% and 3.9% respectively.

MOHAMED SALAH

    Hey, wich 2 to choose?

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years

      Surely ESR and Foden

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Smith Rowe and Foden.

      B and C

  3. Norco

    Vardy Antonio Jimenez

    Bench: Foster | Dias D.Luiz Kovacic

    Other option is to bring in James or Chilwell for Azpi

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, I’d save

      1. Norco
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. I think 2FT might be handy.

        Hopefully Azpi starts

    1FT already moved Gray to ESR?
    Would you move Dias to James (own Chilwell) or best to just hold and avoid the likely cameos in the coming weeks…

    Not too worried about the hit it’s more double che defence / no city defence

    Yay or nay

  7. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hi folks. Is my bench order correct. I’m torn on line up.

    Sanchez
    Trent, Chillwell, James, Reguillon
    Salah, Zaha, Raphina
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Toney

    Steele, Benrahma, Livramento, Bissouma 0ft 0itb

    Thanks

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Livra over Regi for me. Think Everton will score and it’s too early for this punt.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I didn’t transfer him in this week, I’ve actually had since the beginning. I get the Livra love and he has done fantastic for me but I don’t see. Ills not scoring. Dean Smith is too good a manager to allow them lose 5 on the bounce imo, expect a bounce back.

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Totally fair. Villa just not playing well and no Ings konsa Luiz Traore.
          Saints are no world beaters but I’m backing them to win.
          Livra good first sub for you given the early kickoff to cover any no shows

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would play Reggy. We could concede in any game but Everton haven't looked great going forward. Also, can see Reggy picking up an assist. Would probably go Livramento first bench. Benrahma has two returns since GW3 and both were lucky.

  8. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench

    A. Jimenez
    B. Mount

    Currently benching Mount because I feel his 24 pointer has slightly hyped his potential.

    Have James and Chilwell.

    Thanks.

    1. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Start Mount IMO

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would also bench Mount.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bench Jimenez

  9. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start tierney or antonio?

    1. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Dont think Tierney will start so I guess Antonio

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play Antonio because Nuno is probably gonna start this one. Predicting 10-20 minutes for KT on his return.

  10. nicecat
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed, sorry for reposting.
    2FT, 1.3ITB : Dias to James to open up some funds for potential Spurs moves?
    I already have Cancelo and Chilwell

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good plan

  11. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start two:

    A: Antonio

    B: Livramento

    C: Rudiger

    D: Cancelo

    1. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A & C

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      AC

    3. Firmino

      2 years, 5 months ago

      CD

  12. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure what to do with this lot, suggestions much appreciated:

    Sanchez
    TAA, Chilwell, Rudiger, Livra
    (S)alah, Havertz, B. Silva
    Jimi, Antonio, Vardy

    (4.0, Gray, Sissoko, 4.0)

    A) Roll FT into the ITB
    B) Gray > ESR
    C) Antonio > Toney
    D) -4 for Gray > Jota & Antonio to a 6.5

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A or B.
      B looks better but with the IB, 2FTs maybe useful

    2. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Roll and have more options during the break

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What would you do here? 2 FT 0ITB

    Guaita
    TAA Cancelo Reece
    Salah Kai Raphinha Sarr
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    Livra Sissoko

    A Ronaldo Sarr> Jota Wilson OR Kane Mbuemo.(allows cash to get Son for Havertz next week)

    B Sarr,> Mbuemo. Have 2 FT over IB

    1. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think there was some news throwing Mbuemo's fitness into doubt?

  14. Phlajo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sitting on 2FT and 1m itb... Would you:
    A Benrahma+Laporte to Raphinha and Chilwell
    B Benrahma to Raphinha (bench Laporte and play White)
    C Somting else? 🙂

    Team:
    Sanchez (Foster)

  20. Atimis

    Duffy or Livra first on bench?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Liv

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy - much higher CS odds, similar attacking prospects this week

  21. sacana12
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2 FT (ITB 2.1 , will hold one FT for spurs assets next week)

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger - Azpi - Livramento - Cancelo
    Salah - Raphinha - Benrahma - Havertz
    Antonio - Vardy

    Bench: Foster - Veltman - Sarr - Dobbin

    Not sure what to transfer this GW. What is better?

    A) Benrahma or B) Sarr
    ----->
    1) Gallagher or 2) Smith Rowe

    Think im gonna do B1 and just bench benrahma

    1. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think I would prefer Smith Rowe over Gallagher. B2 for me.

  22. simong1
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA - James - Christensen - Coady - Livra
    Salah - Son - Foden (Bissouma) (Gilmour)
    Jesus - Hwang (Antonio)

    Do you think Coady to Chilwell for -4 is a good move this week? Would then do Christensen to Cancelo next week on a free so I don't keep triple Chelsea defence

    1. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure the -4 is worth it for that transfer. I wonder if Christensen will start at all considering he started midweek? Would probably just play Antonio instead of moving Coady out for a -4.

  23. Wheyyyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Think I'm all set.. Used 2FT to move VVD & Werner to TAA & Kane. Think I'll drop Dias down to Reg so I can upgrade Foden to Son for their run. Thoughts? GTG?

    Ramsdale
    TAA / Cancelo / James / Livra
    Salah / Raph / Foden / Mbeumo
    Kane / Toney
    Foster / Hwang / Dias / Luiz

  24. Dave Dreamer
    • 5 Years

    First time this season i have no clue what to do on my transfers. 2 FT and £1.5m itb.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Azp Cancelo Rüdiger
    Salah Raphinha Mbeumo
    Antonio Vardy Jiménez

    Bench: Foster Livramento Benrahma Douglas Luiz

    I could go:
    a. Vardy > Kane
    b. Benrahma > Jota
    c. Azp > James
    d. Benrahma, Antonio > Son, Broja

    Confused. 🙁

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio to Wilson

      1. Dave Dreamer
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        even more options. arghh

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Look at the teams and think about who is going to cone into form and who is going to stop. At the moment your proposals look reactionary whereas you are in prime position to get aggressive

          1. Dave Dreamer
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Good point. 🙂

    2. Dave Dreamer
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      e. Vardy, Benrahma > Toney, Son?

    3. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What does your heart say? Need to narrow it down. Who are you most leaning towards?

      1. Dave Dreamer
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ha, I normally have a crystal clear view, not this week.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's all opinion, no one knows what will happen, but I consider Chilwell and James to be key players. I'd pick up one of those guys. So C sounds good.

    A) Stones
    B) Emerson Royal

    1. Miguel Sanchez

      A

    2. Ginkapo FPL

      There must be someone else

      1. ElliotJHP
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        As it's draft I am confined to the dregs of the free agent list sadly

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yes, but Keane is a better option than these

  26. Champions League Varane

    Christensen and Antonio to James and Toney -4?

    Hoping for big points this week!

    Sanchez ¦ Steele
    Azpilicueta Rudiger White
    Salah Raphinha Gallagher Mbeumo
    Vardy Aubameyang Toney
    ¦ Livramento Gray Digne*

    Play Gray ahead of Livramento?

  28. VaVaVoom14

    Do we think lamptey starts against Newcastle?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think it’s one of those that we won’t know if he’s deemed ready to start until he does. Could easily be a couple more games of sub appearances to get him back match fit
