Fantasy Football Premier League success typically hinges on recognising when a good EPL footballer is about to slip into a funk, and when an underrated one is about to get out of his.
Still, with so many high-quality teams involved in the world’s most prized football league. Making the right choices can be a daunting task.
Let me help out! Let me lift some of the burden! Here are the players I think may improve your fantasy football selection ahead of Round 11, and the ones that I suggest you stay well away from.

These Are the Players You Need for Premier League Fantasy Football for Round 11!
Do the best teams always win their Premier League fixtures? Not necessarily. Some clubs are simply more effective at utilising their resources than others.
So, considering the stats, recent form and upcoming matches, what are some teams and players that are undervalued in EPL fantasy football?
Let me start by nominating Crystal Palace. The team’s had a great year, and Brighton is at home in Round 11. Besides, the stats suggest that the Eagles should be higher in the standings than their current 11th place.
Should no Conference League injuries occur, consider picking Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has been scoring consistently. Dean Henderson makes for a good goalkeeper. And, defender Daniel Munoz may just be one of the best wing-backs in the EPL at the moment.
I’ve been critical of Manchester United lately. But the stats suggest that they create goal-scoring opportunities easily and concede goals through staggering mistakes. Expect Spurs and the Red Devils to put on quite an attacking display.
This means that Bryan Mbeumo, Mattheus Cunha, Rucharlison and Mohamed Kudus (although there’s a risk he might not play) are good players to have on your team if you can afford them.
What about sure things and certain winners? While there’s nothing like that in the EPL, Arsenal’s confidence should see it through when they meet Sunderland, the top newly promoted side.
David Raya‘s a good alternative for a goalie. Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are always good picks. However, defenders Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, and Gabriel Magalhães are the players I think you should focus on getting on your fantasy football team.
Speaking of sure things, Erling Haaland continues to break goalscoring records, doing so in every competition he approaches. He can extend this against a flaky Liverpool defence. Meanwhile, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominic Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch have been keeping the Reds afloat.
The recent managerial switch to Sean Dyche and a good performance against United last week should give Nottingham Forest a platform to approach this game against Leeds with confidence.
Last time around, Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White were Forest’s top players. However, I’ve been impressed with Ryan Yates and Elliot Anderson this campaign and think they’ll make strong picks this week.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 11!
United’s got some of its swagger back. However, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw and whoever they’ll have playing alongside them between Harry Maguire and Lenny Yoro, are known to be error-prone.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are excellent central defenders, but they will find it hard to help Vicario keep a clean sheet. Their points tally could be affected by this.
Yes, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki have impressed in the Champions League at mid-week. But do you really want to risk having Pep Guardiola’s last-minute squad surprises wreck your fantasy football score?
You’ll also need to keep an eye on injuries and suspensions. Ahead of Round 11, player absences are becoming more frequent. Let me highlight the fact that you won’t be seeing much of Viktor Gyokeres, Emiliano Buendia, Tyler Adams, Kaoru Mitoma, Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia, Wilfried Gnonto, Alexander Isak, or Anthony Gordon.
Note that Emmanuel Agbadou, Mateo Kovacic, and Liam Delap are suspended for this round of matches.
