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

    I gathered Salah would be easily the most voted for, and the public captain poll isn’t necessarily the best thing to go off, but I’m surprised to not even see Vardy in the top 5. Did that many people sell him?

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He's 5th now.

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      out of form. And since most people (over 70%) already have Salah are you really going to captain Vardy over him.

    Nothing in the bank.

    B. Dias to Chilwell(bench Jimenez).
    C. Mount to someone(who?).

    Thanks.

  10. Jet5605

    1 FT and 3.3 ITB. Which option looks best:

    A - Townsend > Gallagher
    B - Townsend > ESR
    C - Townsend > Jota
    D - Roll transfer and have 2 after the IB

    Foster
    Cancelo - Chilwell - Rudiger - Livra
    Sala - Foden - Raph - Townsend
    CR7 - Antonio

    Sanchez - Duffy - Gilmour - Perica

    Hi all

    Would you do duffy to chilwell this week (already have james), or roll the transfer if it meant i’d be able to afford havertz and vardy to son and jesus next week?

    1. Konstaapeli

    I own Aubameyang and Salah

    I can't see Salah or Liverpool scoring more than 2 whereas Arsenal could score 5.

    Surely Aubameyang Captain.

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I thought the same two weeks ago and captained Auba over Salah. Then Salah scored a hatty at Old Trafford…

    2. Rbyrne95
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Last results aren't always a reliable source for games ahead but last four games vs West Ham Salah's returned five times, with Salah's form too I am just sticking with him. Auba could easily perform though.

  20. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Gray to Smith Rowe or Gallagher ? Thanks

  21. Rbyrne95
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    We thinking Azpi will start?....

  22. Steirish
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start Antonio or Livramento?

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Antonio

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      1st and 2nd bench for me, respectively

    3. The Parrot
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You will be more annoyed if you start Livra and he concedes while Antonio scores rather than of you start Antonio and he blanks and Livra CS

  23. The Parrot
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Planning potential moves for next week if spurs look good

    Can either get Son or Kane

    Team looks like

    Ramsdale / Foster
    TAA / Cancelo / Rudiger / Dias* / Livra
    Salah / Foden / Mbeumo / Saka* / D.Luiz
    Vardy* / Antonio / Jimi

    A) Saka + Vardy to Son + Toney
    B) Dias + Vardy to 4.8m Def + Kane

    B) let's me rode the premium Striker fixture run but A gets me two really good players....

        1. Weeb Kakashi

          If Firmino out for long then.

        Might go esr just to save some money but don’t I need foden?

    Currently getting FOMO with making an transfer, especially for ESR or Arsenal. Should I hold or transfer, say, Raph out for ESR or other to prep funds for Spurs players. Debating get rid of Vardy after this GW.
