Today’s it's time for my Gameweek 11 Preview and I'll start by briefly review ing gameweek
10 .
I’ll then discuss the top 3 transfers in for each position so far this gameweek.
I’ll finish by outlining my plans this week in terms of transfers, starting 11 and captaincy.
So before talking about gameweek 11, let’s briefly review my Gameweek 10 score.
It was a good week for me with 57 points, although much of that was down to James.
Raphinha scored, Captain Salah got an assist and Livramento got a clean sheet off the bench.
I unfortunately benched Ramsdale for Foster and Saka’s points also stayed on my bench.
Now let’s look at the top 3 transfers in so far this week in each position.
So let’s talk about goalkeepers starting with Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal, who got a
4th clean sheet. He got a first double digit return by also
making 8 saves, helping him to 2 bonus points. The Gunners have a mixed run of fixtures but
have looked much better defensively of late. Next is Edouard Mendy of Chelsea, who got
yet another clean sheet to remain top points scorer.
He does look the standout option in the premium bracket with clean sheets and also saves.
Chelsea still have a decent run of upcoming fixtures and he is at least nailed to start.
Last is Robert Sanchez of Brighton, who conceded 2 and made 1 save this week.
Brighton’s defence is decent so he’ll get clean sheets but he doesn’t tend to
make many saves. They have decent upcoming fixtures only facing
West Ham in the top 6 until gameweek 18.
Now let’s talk about defenders starting with Reece James of Chelsea, who got 21 points
this week. He’s now got 4 goals in 3 90 minute appearances
in what’s also a solid Chelsea defence. They’ve only conceded 3 goals in 10 games
and as mentioned before, the fixtures are still pretty good.
His main competition at right wing back is Cesar Azpilucueta and he can also play right
centre back. Next is Ben Chilwell, also of Chelsea, who
got 2 bonus despite not scoring or assisting. James and Chilwell are my top 2 Chelsea defender
picks ahead of Antonio Rudiger with less attacking threat.
Chilwell looks to be first choice at left wing back for now but Alonso will rotate in
at times. One of those may be this week to deal with
Burnley’s height from set pieces. Last is Tino Livramento of Southampton, who
got a 4th clean sheet of the season this week. He’s easily the best budget pick, although
buying him now would set you back 4.4M. Saints have a couple more good fixtures before
a tougher run, starting with Liverpool away. He’s cheap enough to be benched though and
could get attacking returns in tougher fixtures.
Now let’s talk about midfielders starting with Emile Smith Rowe of Arsenal, who’s
a great budget option. A goal this week made it 2 goals and an assist
in his last 2 matches. There were fears of rotation a few weeks back
but he seems fairly nailed for now. As mentioned before, the upcoming fixtures
are mixed but at his price, he can be benched. Next is Connor Gallagher of Crystal Palace,
who also looks like a solid budget option. It was an unexpected win for Palace against
Man City and Gallagher bagged a goal and assist. The upcoming 4 fixtures are pretty inviting
and look decent beyond that too. He’s blown pretty hot and cold so far, only
returning in 3 matches. Last is Phil Foden of Man City, who blanked
this week following his 18 point haul. Nothing went right for City against Palace
and the red card made their task very difficult. Foden has now started the last 5 games and
seems first choice, though at City there’s always rotation.
It’s the Manchester derby this week that may be tight but then comes a great run of
fixtures. Finally, let’s talk about forwards starting
with Cristiano Ronaldo of Man Utd. He rewarded managers who kept faith with him
with a goal, assist and all 3 bonus points. Utd have had and have a tough run of fixtures
until a big swing in gameweek 15. He did tend to haul more against the weaker
teams in Serie A last season. Next is Hee-Chan Hwang of Wolves, who blanked
this week against Everton. He still has 4 goals in 7 games though, which
is a good total for the price. He’s started the last 5 games so seems fairly
nailed for now Wolves still have a good next 4 fixtures before
facing Liverpool and Man City. Last is Ivan Toney of Brentford, who blanked
in a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Burnley. He’d done OK this season and myself and
others brought him in for Brentford’s fixture swing.
A 3-1 defeat isn’t a good start but the fixtures are still favourable for now in theory.
He only has 2 goals and 2 assists in 10 games so worth monitoring the next couple.
So now let’s talk about my plans for this game week, starting with transfers.
I’m pretty happy with my squad right now so I’m currently planning to roll the transfer.
I could bring in Chilwell for Dias but I think I want 2 transfers going into gameweek 12.
I’m not that happy with Vardy but there’s hardly a wealth of other good forward options.
I’m keeping hold of Antonio similarly plus I think he could still do well in tougher
fixtures. Next, who will be on my bench and which players
am I considering for the captaincy? Foster will be back on my bench this week
and joined as always by Brownhill. With the Man Utd fixture, I’m probably benching
Dias with less attacking threat than Cancelo. He’s currently 2nd behind Livramento as
Saints have the better fixture. Captaincy will probably be on Salah given
his form this season and it’s a decent fixture. James at home to Burnley would be my 2nd choice
if I was sure of his start. Vardy is away at Leeds but I’m not convinced
by him or Leicester at the moment. I’ll post my transfers and final team selection
on Twitter so follow me at moore_fpl. Finally, what are my longer term plans and
current thoughts beyond gameweek 11? I may want Son in for gameweek 12 with Spurs’
good run of fixtures if they’re looking good.
I’ll look to see how Brentford respond to their poor result in terms of Mbuemo and Toney.
I’ll continue to monitor Reece James to see how often he’s benched but he looks
good for now. Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate
it. Give it a like if you enjoyed it. Add your own thoughts and questions in the
comments and I’ll try to get through as many as I can.
