Picks for Gameweek 11

Forwards

1. Sergio Aguero(13.0): With 2 goals against West Brom, the player yet again showed that when he is fit, he is the go to man in Fantasy Premier League. City put on a brilliant performance against West Brom who looked in disarray for most of the game. A home fixture against Middlesbrough looks like another opportunity for City to demolish their opponent.

2. Charlie Austin(6.6): The forward did not have a great time against Chelsea but a match against Hull City is too enticing a prospect. The Tigers have been vulnerable defensively and Austin should have a good outing against them.

3. Ahmed Musa(7.0): The Leicester forward is a superb budget option and has started the last three league games for his club. The player has scored twice in his last two starts and is sure to cause problems to oppositions with his speed.

Midfielders

4. Alexis Sanchez(11.4): The Chilean has been sensational for the Gunners as a Number 9 after coming under a lot fire for not being fit enough to play as a lone striker. The player is easily the biggest offensive threat that Arsenal has and the Gunners will hugely depend on him to swing the derby in their favour.

5. Philippe Coutinho(8.5): Liverpool have shown no mercy when it comes to the offensive part of the game and Coutinho has a large role in this. The player has been involved in 8 goals for Liverpool and refuses to slow down. Coutinho takes corners from both the sides and often takes free kicks as well. Liverpool who host Watford, will have to be at their best if they intend to stop the Hornets from acheiving 4 consecutive cleansheets.

6. Eden Hazard(9.8): With 3 goals in his last 3 starts, the Belgian has once again proved his worth. It would be wise to grab the player now before his price rises up to the original 10.0m. Chelsea have showed superb link up play with Hazard at the helm of things and the winger has provided great returns.

7. Yannick Bolasie(6.0): The player had a superb evening against West Ham United and created a few goalscoring chances. Bolasie who is a superb budget option has 4 assists and 1 goal to his name till now. A tough fixture against Chelsea will require Koeman to make the best use of Bolasie’s pace and trickery.

Defenders

8. Daley Blind(5.7): Manchester United play Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium in a match that might be called a must win for the Red Devils. United showed defensive maturity in the game against Burnley and hardly let them attack. Blind also takes corners for United who have shown considerable strength attacking aerially.

9. Christian Fuchs(5.4): Leicester City have a fixture difficulty rating of 2,2,1,2 coming up and this may be the right time to pick a player from the Foxes. Fuchs is a good bet since the player also takes corners for a team who are pretty decent in the air.

10. Simon Francis(4.5): He may not be the best way into Bournemouth’s defence, but is surely the cheapest. Bournemouth have kept 3 cleansheets in the league till now and all of them have come at home. Their next fixture is at home against Sunderland who have been absolutely shambolic to say the least. There is a good chance that Bournemouth defenders will keep Sunderland at bay.

Goalkeeper

11. Tom Heaton(4.6): An absolutely brilliant display by the goalkeeper ensured that Burnley took away one point from Old Trafford. The player is a brilliant shot stopper and often gets a lot of saves in the game. He is also a front runner for bonus points when it comes to Burnley. If the team puts up another brilliant defensive display, there is little chance that they will concede against Crystal Palace at home.

Differentials

· Sam Vokes(6.0): The Burnley player has been their top scorer this season with 3 goals and comes for a paltry price. He has a low selection rate of 1.5% and could provide you with a decent return against Crystal Palace.

· Victor Moses(5.5): The winger is a brilliant choice for a 5th midfielder as he is available for a meagre sum and has started 4 games in a row with a goal and an assist.

· Dejan Lovren(4.9): The Croatian has a pick percentage of less than 5% and is a solid aerial threat. If Liverpool are somehow able to maintain defensive solidity, Lovren will be a great differential to have in your team.
