Jorgen Strand Larsen has been a good addition to the Premier League and to Fantasy Premier League as well. The Norwegian striker has hit form with 5 attacking returns in 10 games. He is available for £5.6 in the game and is an excellent budget option, with a total points tally of 43. With Matheus Cunha, he has built up quite the partnership at Wolves. This weekend, Wolves face a struggling Southampton side who have been quite leaky defensively. They could have a tough time against the big striker. He has 4 goals and 1 assist so far and his upcoming fixtures are decent too.

4. Chris Wood – Nottingham Forest | 66 points | £6.5m

Chris Wood is presently one of the most in form Premier League and Fantasy Premier League players at the moment. In fact, in terms of form, he is presently first among forwards. The New Zealand record goalscorer has found the back of the net in each of his 5 games for club and country. Wood in fact has been a huge part of Nottingham Forest’s rise to third place in the Premier League table. He already has scored 8 times in 10 games this season. This weekend, he faces former side Newcastle, against whom he’s expected to find the net again.

3. Rasmus Hojlund – Manchester United | 19 points | £6.9m

Rasmus Hojlund has had a weird stint at Manchester United so far. The talent is pretty obvious for the young Danish striker and he has shown glimpses of it more than often. But somehow, a consistent run of form hasn’t stuck yet. This can be seen in his low points total so far this season. While this might come up as a shock, he has only 1 goal so far in the league season. That being said, his current form suggests a return to form and that a goalscoring spell could be around the corner. Leicester City are their opponents this season and they have their defensive frailties which can be taken advantage of.

2. Dominic Solanke – Tottenham Hotspur | 41 points | £7.6m

Dominic Solanke is beginning to show the form that Tottenham Hotspur signed him for big money earlier this summer. The former Liverpool and Chelsea striker resurrected his career in the Premier League with Bournemouth. Now he is being moulded as the Harry Kane replacement at Spurs. He is in great form and has scored 4 goals and assisted 2 times this season. When Spurs takes on Ipswich Town later this week, Solanke will be ready to take full advantage of their poor defensive record and add to his tally.

1. Erling Haaland – Manchester City | 77 points | £15.3m

At £15.3m, Erling Haaland is by far the most expensive player in the Fantasy Premier League. With his recent form being slightly iffy, there are people saying that maybe selling him and better utilising the funds elsewhere. However, Haaland is on a different level. Even with the fact that he has scored in 1 out of the last 5 games, it is simply ridiculous to sell him. He is still the top scorer in the Premier League, with 11 goals. His xG is also very good and so there is no doubt the goals are coming. Their opponents this weekend are Brighton who are defensively suspect and Haaland could well capitalise.

This weekend, in Gameweek 11, the standout fixture once again involves Chelsea as they take on Arsenal in a London derby. Other notable fixtures include Liverpool facing Aston Villa and a difficult trip to Brighton’s Amex Stadium for a Manchester City side who have looked off colour of late. The gameweek deadline is on the 9th of November. Eyes will also be on Manchester United as they prepare for the arrival of new boss Ruben Amorim with a game against Leicester City.
