Gameweek 11 of FPL begins on Saturday with a clash between Everton and Burnley. This change in the Gameweek deadline comes after the postponement of the fixture between Newcastle and Aston Villa owing to a COVID-19 related issue.

This throws a wrench into the plans of a lot of FPL managers who had popular assets from both teams. Jack Grealish (AVL) (MID) (£7.7 m), Callum Wilson (NEW) (FWD) (£6.5 m), and Emiliano Martinez (AVL) (GK) (£4.8 m) are some of the popular FPL options that will blank this Gameweek.

With FPL managers potentially losing some of their top performers, they will want to make sure that they get their captaincy choices right on the money. There are some very good FPL captaincy options this week. Let's now take a look at the top 5 best FPL captaincy choices for Gameweek 11.


#5 Timo Werner (CHE) (FWD) - (£9.5 m) (vs) LEE(H)

Chelsea's Timo Werner is a great FPL captaincy option to consider for Gameweek 11. After a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Spurs last week, Chelsea went back to scoring goals for fun and won 4-0 away to Sevilla in the Champions League. Werner was rested for that fixture and only made an appearance as a substitute.

He's fresh and fit to play in the weekend's match against Leeds United in what promises to be a goal-filled game. Werner has the highest threat and ICT Index stats from Chelsea, and has, to an extent, been underperforming compared to his xG stats.

He should get plenty of chances to score against Leeds, and will be looking to convert them this time around. Given his high potential for FPL points, Werner is a great captaincy choice.


#4 Mohamed Salah (LIV) (MID) - £12.2 m (vs) WOL(H)

Mohamed Salah will look to find the net for the first time after recovering from coronavirus. The Egyptian was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet against Brighton in GW 10 and wouldn't have liked being taken off early. It will make him all the more determined to put in a good performance against Wolves in FPL Gameweek 11.

While Wolves will be a tad tricky to break down, Liverpool's attacking form has been pretty good this season, and the advent of Diogo Jota has only added to their goal-scoring abilities. Salah has always been a dependable FPL captain whenever he's fit, and he should perform well in Gameweek 11 as well.

#3 Jamie Vardy (LEI) (FWD)- £10.3 m (vs) SHU(A)

Leicester City's Jamie Vardy is a great captaincy choice for FPL Gameweek 11. The forward was backed by a lot of FPL managers in Gameweek 10, but he could produce only an assist in the Foxes' shocking 1-2 defeat. He will look to make amends when they travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United in Gameweek 11.

He has, however, been in phenomenal form in away games, with seven goals and two assists in just five away matches. His FPL credentials have always been pretty high, and he was a very bankable FPL option to give the captain's armband to in past seasons. While Leicester haven't been as brilliant as last season, Vardy has continued to fire, and he should get a huge FPL haul in Gameweek 11.


#2 Bruno Fernandes (MUN) (MID) - (£10.9 m) (vs) WHU(A)

Given how consistent Bruno Fernandes has been in away games, Fernandes as an FPL captain is a no-brainer in this Gameweek. He has 50 FPL points in the four away games that he has featured in this season, and is yet to blank in an away game.

Manchester United pulled off an incredible win in Gameweek 10 thanks to an Edinson Cavani special. The forward should make it to the starting XI in Gameweek 11, and that raises Fernandes' appeal. Cavani's clinical finishing ability raises Fernandes' chances of getting attacking returns.

While United have had a topsy-turvy season as far as form is concerned, Fernandes has always delivered for them. He's a great FPL captaincy choice for this Gameweek.


#1 Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) (MID) - (£11.7 m) (vs) FUL(H)

Kevin De Bruyne is the standout FPL captaincy option for Gameweek 11. Manchester City's talisman was instrumental in their 5-0 win over Burnley and was unlucky not to get more than 10 FPL points. He is well-rested ahead of City's Gameweek 11 fixture against Fulham at home.

While they have somewhat improved, Fulham still has one of the worst defenses in the league. Given the form that City are in, they will look to score a lot of goals in this fixture. De Bruyne has a high rate of involvement in Manchester City's goals, and he's a great FPL option to back for this Gameweek.
