FPL Gameweek 11 Tips: Key Transfers, Top Players & Captaincy Picks

As the dust settles on midweek European action, it’s time for FPL managers to turn their attention back to Fantasy Premier League matters — Gameweek 11 is here.

Several fixtures stand out this weekend. Chelsea host Wolves, who have conceded a league-high 22 goals and are still searching for their first clean sheet of the season.

Sunderland, on the other hand, have made a strong start but now face an Arsenal side sitting six points clear at the top and boasting the league’s best defence, with only three goals conceded so far.

🤔 What’s the Best Free Hit FPL Team for Gameweek 11?

The Algorithm has crunched the numbers and revealed its optimal squad — built to maximise points in Gameweek 11.

After a blank against Villa, Haaland was back to his usual self with a 13-point haul against Bournemouth. The Algorithm is trusting him with the armband once again. 🫡

Mateta looks to be the current forward bandwagon once again, with over 450k new owners already this week. 📈

The Palace striker has found the back of the net 5 times in the last 6 Gameweeks and ranks top among all players for big chances (12) and xG (6.41) in that period. 🦅

Bowen stands out as a differential pick. West Ham appear to have turned a corner after scoring 3 against Newcastle. They now face a Burnley side that have conceded 15 goals in 5 away games and kept no clean sheets — both the worst in the league. ⭐

You can also optimise your own team now using the Assistant Manager tool.

"I have 4 free transfers and it's looking like Gyökeres may have to go. Other players on my hit list are Gvardiol, Reijnders and Stach." Tom Dollimore (World's Number 1 Manager)
