FPL Gameweek 11 Best Transfer Tips – The Premiums

Emile Smith-Rowe (£5.6m)

A £5.6m player making himself essential?

That’s what the Arsenal midfielder is fast becoming thanks to two consecutive returns and three in five Gameweeks, with two of those tallies in double digits.

Since his first haul in Gameweek 6, only Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) and Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) have outscored him. The Arsenal man has 39 points, the others 62 and 43 respectively.

Over that fruitful period, he’s hit three goals from just seven shots.

That feels unsustainable – his xG is just 1.11, after all – but he also has a creative side to his game, with 11 key passes producing two big chances and a pair of assists.

A visit from Watford looks like the ideal fixture for Smith-Rowe to continue his fine form, although tougher tests await on the other side of the international break.

Raul Jimenez (£7.6m)

Form and fixtures are combining to make the Wolves striker a very attractive option…for now.

Jimenez has produced returns in four of the last five gameweeks, with two goals and three assists.

And he has Crystal Palace, Norwich and Burnley to face over the next four matches before things get brutal after that.

His breakthrough performance came in Gameweek 6 and since then, he’s outscored every fellow forward, his 30 points eclipsing Jamie Vardy’s (£10.8m) 29 and teammate Hee-Chan Hwang’s (£5.8m) 27.

That pair are owned, respectively, by 30.9% and 11.8%, whereas Jimenez is currently found in just 7.7% of FPL squads, so he has the pleasant scent of the differential about him as well.

A form player in a form team, there aren’t many boxes Jimenez is not ticking at present.

FPL Fixture Ticker

FPL Gameweek 11 Best Transfer Tips – The Potentials

Bryan Mbeumo (£5.6m)

In a change to the normal schedule, this week’s ‘He’s playing against Norwich’ feature appears in the potentials section, not the punts one. We apologise for any confusion this might cause.

If you believe FPL Twitter, everyone owns Brentford’s Mbeumo.

Not so. He’s actually in only 4.1% of squads, but he’s fit again and eyeing up Norwich at home this weekend.

Despite missing close to a game and a half of the most recent fixtures due to injury, the midfielder’s attacking threat remains strong.

Only Ivan Toney (£6.6m), who has played every single minute of the campaign to date, can beat him for shots (25 v 22), while the French winger has actually outdone the striker for big chances (5 v 3) and the pair are tied on two goals apiece.

There’s a sense that Brentford are finally being found after a great start to their Premier League life, but although they’ve lost their last three matches, two of those were to Chelsea and Leicester and they out-shot the Blues 17-5 and the Foxes 15-10.

Norwich are certainly used to being out-everythinged. They’ve taken a league-worst 103 shots while allowing a (second-worst) 158.

The Canaries are also bottom for both goals and shots on target conceded, at 25 and 59 respectively.

Harry Kane (£12.1m)

Well he’s certainly not got the form and the fixture, on paper, doesn’t look the greatest either.

But after enduring months of drudgery under Nuno Espirito Santo, Tottenham’s talisman is fancied to respond positively to the rather more inspirational Antonio Conte.

Spurs travel to an Everton team that’s lost three on the bounce and kept only two clean sheets all season.

The early-season optimism is long gone and the injuries are piling up, so is Kane really the man to take advantage?

He’s looked decidedly out of sorts at times, but what the striker has especially lacked, surprisingly, is a killer instinct.

His 19 attempts is the seventh-best total among forwards – not bad in a team as shot-shy as Spurs. And his ten shots on target is bettered by only three strikers.

Just the one goal has materialised from all that. Brighton forward Neal Maupay (£6.5m) has netted four times from very similar minutes played and shots attempted.

Everton could be the ideal team for Kane to rediscover his mojo.

Since Gameweek 5, when the sheen came off their glossy start, only four teams have allowed more shots than their 84, and their headed attempts and big chances conceded totals (both 16) are the league’s second-worst.

Predicted Points Tool

FPL Gameweek 11 Best Transfer Tips – The Punts

Harvey Barnes (£6.5m)

Among all the Aaron Ramsdale (£4.7m) heroics and the excellence of Smith-Rowe in the Leicester v Arsenal game, the live wire performance from half-time sub Barnes was somewhat lost.

The midfielder’s six shots against the Gunners was twice the total of any of his teammates, as were his two big chances. He also led the way for shots on target (three) and attempts in the box (four).

In fact, those stats were match-leading figures for both sets of players. All of that, don’t forget, from just 45 minutes of action.

Barnes was found in close to a million squads at the start of the season, but a long run of blanks lost him more than 600,000 managers and he’s been used sparingly in the league since, ironically, his only return of the campaign, a Gameweek 7 assist at Crystal Palace.

But he has some form, thanks to a goal in the EFL Cup last week, and Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers will need to shuffle his pack after Thursday’s Europa League visit from Spartak Moscow.

A trip to Leeds on Sunday follows that fixture and, if selected, Barnes could do some damage against a side that’s conceded 17 goals and kept only one clean sheet all season.

Shane Duffy (£4.4m)

The Brighton defender has started all but one league match this season, keeping four clean sheets and producing a goal and an assist for good measure.

Only two of his teammates, both of them attackers, can top his tally of 15 shots, all of which have come in the penalty area.

Indeed, that total is the second best among all defenders, beaten only by the 22 attempts from Man City’s Joao Cancelo (£6.4m).

His mix of defensive reliability and attacking threat comes at a bargain basement price and the Seagulls’ fixtures offer excellent prospects of more points from Duffy for a good while to come.

Brighton host Newcastle next and will also face Aston Villa, Leeds and Southampton before their schedule stiffens from Gameweek 16.

Now looks like the perfect time to take a punt on Duffy.
