Captain Sensible

Who is the best captain for FPL Gameweek 11?

Erling Haaland (£14.8m) delivered his fifth double-digit haul of the season for the millions of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who handed him the armband in Gameweek 10.

The captaincy decision might not be quite so straightforward in Gameweek 11, however, with Man City hosting reigning champions Liverpool on Super Sunday.

In Captain Sensible, we diligently ask if there is a case to look beyond the Norwegian this week, especially with Arsenal’s relentless form and Chelsea facing Wolverhampton Wanderers in a plum fixture.

First, we will assess the on-site captaincy poll. We will then analyse player and team statistics, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings to determine the best captain for Gameweek 11 ahead of Saturday’s 11am GMT deadline.

Captaincy Poll

Gameweek 11 Best captain

As is customary, Haaland leads the Fantasy Football Scout captaincy poll, albeit by a smaller margin than we have grown accustomed to in recent weeks. Just under 35% of site users believe the Norwegian, who has scored 13 goals in 10 league starts, is the best option for Gameweek 11.

Two other players, Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) and Joao Pedro (£7.4m), can boast at least 10% of the vote, ahead of fixtures against Sunderland and Wolves, respectively.

Elsewhere, Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.6m), Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.9m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£8.4m) are the only other players to receive more than 5% backing. All three players feature in the top six most-transferred in ahead of the weekend’s action.

    Would it be mad to TC Haaland

    I'm a liverpool fan, we give up a LOT of chances. But its often Foden doing the damage.

    Need to use the TC, other option GW13 for LEE (H), but that's also a good week to FH

    Haal TC Y/N

      Over the course of the whole season I would say there are about 35 better opportunities to TC Haaland

      Don't like either. Caicedo massive overpeformance on xG and Enzo is only a viable pick due to pens which he has on borrowed time

          Yes… he’s had a total XG of 0.67 this whole season. His current goals scored is completely unsustainable. And it’s impossible to predict when he’ll score. He’s as likely to score away to Arsenal as he is at home to Wolves.

        Why? On pens, corners and free kicks. In the number 10 and also has a decent chance of getting DEFCONs. Oh, and they are at home to a dreadful Burnley team. Fixtures aren’t great after this one but I’ll likely WC over the IB.

          As a one week punt? Enzo I prefer over paqueta, I wouldn’t pick parquets long term but just for 11 he’s alright, otherwise Sarr better from open play, Ndiaye is a better player with pens but have you seen Beto shoot
