The first 10 Gameweeks have given FPL managers plenty to ponder with defensive assets delivering and the Premiums faltering.
For FPL managers who still have their Wildcard, the international break offers time to reassess their squads, target fixture swings and monitor injury news before a busy period in December.
In this guide, we use Fantasy Football Fix’s AI-powered Assistant Manager tool to build a Gameweek 11 Wildcard draft for Fantasy Premier League, backed by player statistics and upcoming fixtures.
The AI-powered Assistant Manager tool helps you create a fully tailored FPL team based on your own strategy.
Whether you want to exclude specific players, load up on midfielders, or experiment with different formations, this smart tool adapts to your preferences.
As shown in the image above, FPL managers can choose to lock in players such as Erling Haaland, Gabriel and Alexander Isak who have all been raking in the FPL points.
Once your criteria are set, the Assistant Manager generates an optimised FPL team designed to maximise points. This team is generated without any players locked in or excluded.
William Saliba’s return to fitness puts Ezri Konsa’s minutes in doubt as Arsenal’s fixtures come thick and fast after the second international break. Riccardo Calafiori also faces competition at left-back from Piero Hincapié and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Gabriel and David Raya look the safest routes into the league’s best defence. Both can start for your FPL team every week.
Jan Paul van Hecke and Tarik Muharemović give you a different option. Over the next eight Gameweeks, rotating the pair gives you five matches against promoted sides, as shown in the AI Rotation Optimiser.
António Silva offers cover when the fixtures call for it. He ranks fourth among defenders for defensive contributions (DEFCON) this season, according to the Stats Sandbox.
Maxim De Cuyper is FPL’s top points scorer, and his attacking numbers help explain why. No defender has attempted more assists (22) or created more big chances (five), according to the Stats Sandbox.
The Belgian also leads all defenders for big chances of his own (five) and expected goals (2.45 xG).
With premium midfielders Bukayo Saka, Bruno Fernandes and Cole Palmer either injured or out of form, the Algorithm spreads the budget across midfield. Morgan Rogers is the most expensive of the five picks.

Pascal Groß leads all players for both attempted assists (29) and big chances created (eight) this season, according to the Stats Sandbox.
The fixtures favour budget midfielders Jack Rudoni and Johan Manzambi. Aston Villa and Coventry City rank first and second respectively for attacking fixtures over the next six Gameweeks in our Fixture Difficulty Ratings.
Marcus Tavernier offers a goal threat from midfield. He has recorded 14 shots on target this season, as many as any midfielder in the Stats Sandbox.
Erling Haaland keeps his place despite back-to-back blanks. He still leads all players for goals (nine), shots in the box (37) and shots on target (18).
Alexander Isak ranks third for expected goals (5.79 xG), with Nicolas Jackson fourth (5.32 xG), as shown in the Stats Sandbox. The pair have scored 13 goals between them this season.
Groß and Tavernier are both one booking away from a one-match ban, so bench depth matters. Silva gives you the option to switch to an extra defender if either midfielder misses out. With most of the squad looking secure for minutes, that flexibility should also come in handy over the busy December period.
The Assistant Manager tool lets you build your own custom Wildcard draft using FPL AI. You can prioritise certain positions, rotate defenders for fixtures, chase differentials, or tailor the squad to your own management style. Your perfect FPL Wildcard team may only be a couple of smart tweaks away.
