Goalkeeper to Target: Best FPL GW11 Clean Sheet Odds
Robert Sanchez looks like the standout goalkeeper for this week. Chelsea rank second only to Arsenal for clean sheet odds, and with a favourable home fixture against a Wolves side struggling to create chances, Sanchez is a safe, steady choice.
Defenders Offering Attack & Clean Sheet Value
Reece James appears to be back to full sharpness after six consecutive Premier League starts. His attacking potential is well known, and with a share of set pieces, he's a high-upside option in a week where clean sheets have a high possibility.
Gabriel remains the go-to Arsenal defender. He's nailed, consistent and always carries a threat from set pieces. Arsenal's defensive numbers have been outstanding, and Gabriel's blend of reliability and goal threat makes him an automatic inclusion.
Jurrien Timber offers the perfect Arsenal double-up. He ranks second among defenders for expected goal involvement this season, showcasing his attacking prowess while being part of the most solid backline in the league.
Midfielders With Form and Fixture Balance
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's main attacking outlet and will no doubt be on penalties in the absence of Viktor Gyokeres. His consistency, set pieces and fixture appeal make him one of the most reliable midfield picks in the game.
Bruno Fernandes remains a strong option with multiple routes to points. On penalties, set pieces and likely to benefit from defensive contributions, he's well placed to deliver against a Spurs team that has looked out of sorts in recent weeks.
Enzo Fernandez could be a real differential this week. Playing at home to Wolves, he's likely to be on penalties and has shown strong underlying data without Cole Palmer in the side. He's been overlooked by many but returns are imminent.
Iliman Ndiaye combines penalties, consistent minutes and attacking involvement. His fixture against Fulham is an inviting one, making him an excellent pick in the mid-price range.
Lucas Paqueta faces the league's weakest defence in Burnley, who have conceded the most expected goals this season. With creativity, set pieces and possibly penalties in his locker, Paqueta has several routes to points and remains a brilliant low-rostered differential.
Forwards to Lead the Line
Erling Haaland remains essential. His explosive potential, penalties and consistent returns make him irresistible.
Jean-Philippe Mateta ranks second only to Haaland for expected goal involvement this season. Palace are top for xG, and Mateta's combination of form, fixtures and confidence make him an easy selection.
