Aston Villa have the best FPL fixtures from Gameweek 11 to Gameweek 16, according to our Fixture Difficulty Ratings.

Nicolas Jackson and £4.9m midfielder Alysson face Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Ipswich and Coventry during that run. Is it time to double up on Villa’s attack?

Elsewhere, Alexander Isak has four home games in six, while four away trips could make Thierno Barry a less appealing transfer than his recent form suggests. Erling Haaland remains our top projected scorer for Gameweek 11 against Fulham, but who gets the armband after that?

Best FPL fixtures for Gameweeks 11–16

Aston Villa have the best FPL fixtures – should you pair Jackson with £4.9m Alysson?

Villa’s next six opponents include two sides currently in the relegation zone, Sunderland and Crystal Palace, as well as newly promoted Ipswich and Coventry. That run puts them top of our Fixture Difficulty Ratings.

Nicolas Jackson is Villa’s most popular FPL pick, with over 30% ownership. For managers who already own him, the next transfer decision is whether to add one of his midfield teammates.

Our Stats Sandbox shows that Johan Manzambi ranks second among Villa players for shots in the box over the last four Gameweeks, with Alysson third. At £4.9m, Alysson offers a budget route to an attacking double-up.

Jack Rudoni leads Coventry for shots ahead of three key home games

Coventry host Crystal Palace, Ipswich and Aston Villa over the next six Gameweeks. Those matches could be crucial to the Sky Blues’ survival hopes, and Jack Rudoni is the budget midfielder to consider if you want to target them.

Rudoni has taken 10 shots over the last four Gameweeks, more than any other Coventry player during that period, according to our Stats Sandbox.

How to rotate Jack Rudoni with Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Tarek Muharemović

Rudoni could be particularly useful if you already own Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Tarek Muharemović. Leeds face trips to Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool during this run, but each of those games coincides with a Coventry home fixture.

As our AI Rotation Optimiser shows below, you could start Rudoni for those three home games and bench your Leeds player for the tougher away trips.

Alexander Isak has four Anfield fixtures in six Gameweeks

Alexander Isak has scored seven league goals this season. Only Erling Haaland, with nine, has scored more. Liverpool host Manchester United, Sunderland, Leeds and Spurs over the next six Gameweeks, giving Isak four chances to add to his tally at Anfield.

Our Match Centre shows that Isak leads Liverpool for goals (three), expected goals (2.3 xG) and shots on target (four) over their last five league matches.

With premium midfielders such as Bruno Fernandes, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka either injured or out of form, Isak makes a strong case for a premium spot up front.

Worst FPL fixtures for Gameweeks 11–16

Fulham, Everton, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Hull City and Manchester City rank in the bottom six of our Fixture Difficulty Ratings over the next six Gameweeks.

Two of the biggest decisions concern Barry’s transfer appeal and when to captain Haaland.

Should you buy Thierno Barry before four away games in six?

Nearly 200,000 FPL managers have bought Thierno Barry ahead of Gameweek 11 at the time of writing. Before following them, it’s worth looking at where the Everton forward has earned his points.

Our Player Heatmaps show that Barry has averaged 6.8 FPL points per game at home and 4.2 away. With four of Everton’s next six fixtures on the road, managers weighing up a move may want to hold off.

When is Erling Haaland the best FPL captain between GW11 and GW16?

Haaland has blanked in his last two appearances, but our Player Points Projections still make him the top captaincy pick against Fulham in Gameweek 11.

After Fulham, Haaland doesn’t top the projections again until Gameweek 16 against Hull. For managers planning their transfers, it’s the four Gameweeks in between where having another captaincy option could pay off.

Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Hull face tough attacking fixtures

Kevin Schade is the only attacker from these four clubs with ownership above 10%. The Brentford midfielder sits at 12% ownership at the time of writing.

If you own Schade or another attacker from these sides, check which of the tougher fixtures your bench can cover. If you’d need to start that player most weeks, switching to an attacker with a better run, such as Villa’s Alysson, could make better use of the spot.
