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.

    All of my players are playing at the same time. I don't think thats ever happened to me before.

    Ihenacho starts on the wing, Bony up ahead as lone striker...interesting to see who will bag the goals

    1. Declan

    I can't see this city team scoring more then three

    1. Eden Hazardous

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years

      3 is enough as long as the correct players are involved

    3. The Algerian Dream
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm just praying for a clean sheet

  14. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years

    Looks like selling costa is alr looking good decision..now hopefully bony will deliver

  15. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Moreno had 7 crosses today, all of which were inaccurate - but a bit more time with Benteke on and there's clearly huge potential going forwards

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The tactics were just daft in the first half. Him, Milner and Clyne putting in crosses to Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana...

      1. The Light Knight
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He ain't Krazy Klopp for nothing 😉

  16. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    City playing 4 - 4 -2, remains to be seen but nervous about KGB captain now. Sanchez is going to rip it up and troll us

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hope Sanchez bags a hatty

    2. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Kelechi on the wing hopefully

      1. Del Griffith
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        cool

  18. Hect.OR 98th

    Totally neutral, but really enjoying Chelsea's troubles. They have become a hugely unlikeable club in the last ten years, led by a succession of boorish personalities with a sense of entitlement, epitomised by Mourinho and Terry. Long may they struggle whilst they are the way they are.

    1. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Is finding them hugely unlikeable actually being neutral? 😉
      Either way, I agree 🙂

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Haha. I mean I don't support a PL team so have no loyalties.

  19. dodgyhaircut
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    KDB not captain and Mahrez benched. BRB just putting the two couches together for the ultimate shield.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Same. Think I'll just watch Juan Mata bag some points instead 🙂

    2. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez not benched as I can see??

  20. Demí
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Now then...time to see if i can get away with benching Bellerin and not owning a city attacker

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ballsy

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I've benched Bellerin, too, but he comes on for me if Coleman is out. No man city attack against Norwich is gutsy.

    3. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I benched Bellerin to. Gulp!

    Lallana or Firmino for my draft team?

  26. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    According to LVG, Jones not injured, just in the red zone.

    Words cannot describe my rage

    1. Clam. ☘ï¸
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wtf is the red zone? haha
