FPL gameweek 11 tips and team of the week – Man Utd treble, Salah captain and Solanke up front

Mohamed Salah (captain), Liverpool, midfielder, £12.8m. – home to Aston Villa

Why change a winning formula? Salah has scored in his last three, he scored in this game last season, Villa just shipped four to Spurs and have a day less rest than Liverpool after a trip to Belgium in the Champions League.

Simple captain pick this week.

Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United, midfielder, £6.3m – home to Leicester City

Garnacho was a player to watch last week and is straight into the team for matchweek 11.

The reasons behind his choice?

Only Salah has had more shots on target.

Only Salah has had more big chances.

Top players tend to outperform their xG – Salah, for example, has seven goals for an xG of 5.63 – but Garnacho is the opposite.

He has two goals from an xG of 3.39. There is only one player with an xG higher than the one who does not have at least four goals…

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, midfielder, £8.2m. – home to Leicester City

Yes – that midfielder is Fernandes with a goal to show for an xG of 3.74 and that was a penalty last week against Chelsea.

Fernandes was superb against Leicester in the EFL Cup – Steve Cooper made a few changes – as United scored five. He finished with two goals, could have been more.

With a boost from a new manager on the way, United must surely end this low-scoring run and what better chance than at home to a Leicester side that have conceded just under two goals per game. match.
