Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 11?

1,557 Comments

Fantasy Premier League managers arguably have more choice for the Gameweek 11 captaincy than first thought.

With the deadline moved to Saturday morning following the postponement of Newcastle’s trip to Aston Villa, Fantasy managers have been gifted an extra day to dwell on the destination of their next armband.

We should use that time wisely, testing Manchester City’s meeting with Fulham against the other appealing fixtures this weekend, comparing underlying statistics for players and team defences alike.

As this article uses extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

Captain Poll

For the first time in several weeks, we have a runaway captain poll winner again. It is Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) this time as he gathered over 47% of votes ahead of an appealing home fixture against relegation-threatened Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. 

That number might even increase closer to the deadline as anyone considering Jack Grealish (£7.7m) or Callum Wilson (£6.5m) will almost certainly look elsewhere for a solid captain choice.

Following yet another away from home haul, Bruno Fernandes (£10.9m) sits second in the poll, although he still only managed to get the support of 9.0%. The Portuguese international and his team will visit a West Ham United that has been a little fortunate not to concede more heavily in recent weeks.

The remaining three picks in the top five list (if we exclude Grealish for now) are Jamie Vardy (£10.3m | 6.9%), Mohamed Salah (£12.2m | 5.3%) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m, 5.2%).

      Good question- I´m also looking for a sub-4.5 starter .
      Any insight on which of Cooper/Alioski is more secure?
      They´re the ones I´m looking at.

        Alioski is subject to rotation risk but can get an attacking return or two.

        Cooper is not subject to rotation risk but won’t get any attacking returns.

        Both players on 3 YCs

            I’m edging towards Taylor actually. He’s nailed, plays as a LB in a defence that has all first team players i.e. Mee, Tarkowski and Lowton. He won’t be banned anytime soon

            Re Lewis, he could be rotated with Ritchie who is now fit to play. Newcastle are also struggling with covid so may miss the WBA game

          Apparently the PL have plans to move around half the matches from GW18 to GW19, something to do with giving teams a winter break. At least that’s what Ben Crellin reckons. So whichever teams do blank GW18 will get a double the following gameweek.

        Agree. Wondering who will have more attacking threat.

          My guess would be Dallas, just because of the way Leeds play

            Ok. Plus I also think the respective positions on the pitch will play a major role. Coufal might remain busy handling Martial.

    I regret doing Rashford to Salah already. Should have been braver and got Mahrez...

    Is mahrez enough city cover or should I try bring in KDB?
    Would have to sacrifice Bruno for KDB though.

      I wouldn't take Bruno out especially with his away form but he did look tired in the UCL.

      Mahrez is good value but will miss some games surely. I plan to get him now and keep till GW 15.

      KDB is a better captain option.
