Gameweek 11 of Fantasy Premier League is almost upon us, and the big question on every manager's mind is: who should be captain? While Erling Haaland remains a popular choice, several alternative options have emerged with the potential to outscore him.
Top Captaincy Alternatives
According to The Scout, Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka are strong contenders for the armband. Mateta, priced at £7.9m, has been in excellent form, scoring four goals in his last two home appearances. Saka (£10.1m), meanwhile, has found the net in two of Arsenal's last three matches and is expected to be on penalties.
However, Haaland's (£14.8m) home record is undeniable. He's scored twice and earned 13+ points in each of his last four league games at the Etihad Stadium, making him a difficult player to overlook.
Form Players to Consider
Arsenal and Manchester United players have rivalled Haaland's output in recent weeks. Gabriel (£6.6m) has been a standout performer, combining clean sheets, assists, and bonus points to outscore Haaland by a significant margin. Declan Rice (£6.8m) is another Arsenal midfielder who has impressed, accumulating 34 points in the last four gameweeks.
Other Key Takeaways
- Arsenal's defence is in top form, making them a prime target for triple-ups.
- Keep an eye on team news for injuries and potential replacements.
- Consider using your Wildcard to revamp your squad.
Defensive Assets
Arsenal have been defensively solid, keeping clean sheets in seven of their ten Premier League matches. David Raya (£5.8m) is the preferred goalkeeper. Newcastle's Nick Pope (£5.2m) is another good value pick. Matz Sels (£4.8m) of Nottingham Forest could be a shrewd one-off selection for their home game against Leeds.
The deadline for Gameweek 11 is fast approaching, so make your decisions wisely!
