<\/p>\nErling Haaland is back in the goals for Manchester City <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With another gameweek in the bag, Fantasy Premier League managers are recovering from a weekend of either frustration or elation after some predictable results, plenty of goals and even a win for Everton. <\/p>\n
This week is another opportunity to reset, make some tweaks to your team or finally play your wildcard to ring in a number of wholesale changes while in-form players are still, relatively, <\/em>cheap. <\/p>\n As the Premier League enters its 11th week, here are five players we think could impress, though managers need to decide whether using a transfer earlier in the week is a gamble worth taking, or if waiting until the midweek Carabao Cup action is finished will aid their efforts to bring success in the upcoming gameweek.<\/p>\n A blistering strike against Brighton in gameweek 9 seems to have kick-started Erling Haaland\u2019s season as he followed it up with a star performance in the Manchester derby, scoring two goals and setting up a third for Phil Foden. A 24-point return from his last two matches raises the eyebrows and he will be keen to extend his tally against Bournemouth this week. Potentially tricky encounters against Chelsea and Liverpool are on the horizon and his extorionate price may turn off some managers looking for a more balanced side but he could be worth a one week blast to rack up some points against the 17th placed Cherries. <\/p>\n If you\u2019re weak in the forward line or just fancy switching things up, Arsenal\u2019s Eddie Nketiah could be the way to go. He\u2019s not a guarantee of points, especially with the Gunners facing Newcastle on Saturday, but with Gabriel Jesus injured he\u2019s highly likely to start. A hat-trick against Sheffield United this weekend proves his quality with the England forward also having a unique quirk of scoring in big games. At just \u00a35.5m too, he\u2019s definitely one to take a risk on for a few weeks with Arsenal also facing Burnley and Brentford in November. <\/p>\n This pick is all about striking whilst the iron is hot and could back fire immediately so you have been warned. The Brentford midfielder has blanked on half of the gameweeks this season but his two most recent outings have seen him be a consistent scorer with 14 and 13 points earned against Burnley and Chelsea respectively. Has he got one more week of high scoring in him? Perhaps. <\/p>\n The Bees are playing West Ham who come into the game on the back of three league matches without a win. A 1-0 loss to Everton at the weekend leaves David Moyes\u2019 side vulnerable and Mbeumo\u2019s form could see him punish the Hammers. Afterwards Brentford take on Liverpool and Arsenal which could be a step too far for even Mbeumo despite his recent purple patch. Bringing him in would be a risky gamble yet could pay off in the short term. <\/p>\n Brentford\u2019s Bryan Mbeumo is in a hot run of form and could be a strong selection in midfield<\/p>\n We now enter the realm of expensive defenders and there is only one real pick to go for if you\u2019re looking for stability. Liverpool\u2019s captain has played every minute of the Reds\u2019 previous five league games, keeping clean sheets in his last two outings. When it comes to goals conceded only Man City and Arsenal better Liverpool\u2019s nine and with matches against Luton and Brentford next in the fixture list Van Dijk seems the easiest choice to guarantee some added points from the back line. <\/p>\n The cheaper defensive option though comes in Crystal Palace\u2019s Marc Guehi. A poor October for the Eagles means the defender is only \u00a34.5m to buy yet his selection could pay off handsomely as Palace take on Burnley, Everton and Luton in November. Roy Hodgson will see all these matches as winnable and Palace have been quite good in defending against teams near to them in the table. Guehi will play in every match, if he doesn\u2019t get injured, so is he worth a punt for three potential cleansheets? Absolutely. <\/p>\nErling Haaland – Manchester City, forward (14m)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
