Ahead of each Premier League gameweek, I'll take a look at sub-50 percent rostered players on Fantrax and Sleeper whose situations may have changed or improved, and assess whether or not they are worth a pickup in season-long leagues.
Fantrax & Sleeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Gameweek 11
Gameweek 11 brings another round of tough lineup calls for fantasy soccer managers on Fantrax and Sleeper. The waiver wire is filled with short-term streamers, emerging starters and injury replacements who can give you the edge before lineups lock.
Below are the top waiver pickups and free-agent targets to consider for this week across all positions ahead of GW11.

GOALKEEPER
Lucas Perri (7% Fantrax, 15% Sleeper)
Perri enters Gameweek 11 as an interesting streamer with Leeds heading on the road to take on a Nottingham Forest side that has scored just four goals through their opening 10 matches. Perri has conceded nine goals in his five starts this season, but eight of those have come against Arsenal and Brighton, who are arguably at different levels than Forest.
Leeds haven't been as solid away from home, but there's a chance that form doesn't matter in this spot.
DEFENDERS
Malo Gusto (23% Fantrax, 28% Sleeper)
Gusto has started three straight league matches, not including a one-match absence due to a suspension, and has played well with 8.25, 4.25 and 16 points. He's lined up both at right-back and in defensive midfield, and has shown the capability to cross, create chances and make tackles no matter the position. Gusto and Chelsea get the best matchup in the league in Gameweek 11, a home clash against Wolverhampton.

Andrew Robertson (16% Fantrax, 7% Sleeper)
Some may have missed the initial opportunity as Robertson became an excellent streaming pick in Gameweek 10 after cracking the starting XI against Aston Villa. There's no guarantee he'll get a second straight league start, but assuming he doesn't start midweek against Real Madrid, he has a good chance to again be in the XI next weekend against Manchester City. Robertson isn't the attacking threat he once was, but he's still capable of generating crosses from the left flank with a split of corners.
MIDFIELDERS
Mats Wieffer (37% Fantrax, 9% Sleeper)
I've written a lot about Diego Gomez, who stole the show during Saturday's 3-0 win over Leeds, but Wieffer has also been a solid add having scored 15.5, 11.5 and 9.5 points over his last three starts with an assist at the weekend. I wish that Wieffer was defender eligible since he lines up at right-back, but he's still been a solid source of chances created and tackles while Brighton don't face a big-six side until mid-December, giving him a nice run of games to help your lineup.
Casemiro (13% Fantrax, 29% Sleeper)
He can't keep getting away with this, can he? I'm riding the hot hand with Casemiro as the veteran midfielder has three goal involvements with five shots and four chances created while scoring over 20 points in each of the last two matches. While that was probably the best two attacking performances he'll have this season, Casemiro remains a key cog in a United side that are playing better and have an excellent run of games over the next two months.
FORWARDS
Igor Jesus (15% Fantrax, 11% Sleeper)
Jesus has started the last two Premier League matches for Forest and is a starting forward who is readily available on the waiver wire. Though he's yet to score in the league, the attacker already has three goals in the Europa League, showing that there are goals in his boots. Forest have been apathetic in attack this season, and Jesus will need to provide a spark soon or he may find himself back on the bench with Chris Wood hoping to return to action soon.
Kevin (31% Fantrax, 15% Sleeper)
Kevin made his first league start at the weekend, scoring five points across 72 minutes against Wolves. While it wasn't the most impressive match, Kevin did finish with four crosses and took two corner kicks, meaning he could have a solid floor if he continues to start for Fulham.
