Transfer recommendations for Gameweek 11: target Tottenham and Manchester United’s favourable fixtures for BIG points

DREAM TEAM managers have some extra time to decide upon their transfers for Gameweek 11 as the deadline isn’t until 1:30pm on Saturday.

The upcoming Gameweek simply consists of a full round of Premier League fixtures to take place over Saturday and Sunday before the international break takes centre stage.

As usual, we’ve assembled some transfer recommendations for your perusal…

Tottenham players

Spurs v Ipswich leaps out of the schedule as a mismatch to target.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are the Premier League’s top scorers this season while only Wolves have conceded more goals than the Tractor Boys.

Dominic Solanke (£4m) is the most popular recruit ahead of Gameweek 11 following his 21-point mega haul against Aston Villa last Sunday.

But truth be told, gaffers are spoiled for choice.

Son Heung-min (£5.3m) boasts the highest points-per-game average among his team-mates but Brennan Johnson (£3.8m) is the club’s top goalscorer in 2024/25.

James Maddison (£4.6m) has flourished (he’s a bonus point magnet) but his minutes are becoming harder to predict.

Last but not least, assist specialist Dejan Kulusevski (£3.1m) offers excellent value for money and has been at the heart of Spurs’ best attacking moves in recent weeks.

Bruno Fernandes (£5.9m)

Manchester United’s captain is the most in-form player in Dream Team at the time of writing having taken 37 points from his last three outings.

That may change later when the Red Devils take on PAOK but the point is that Fernandes is a very strong option right now.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game as interim head coach comes in the form of a home game against Leicester, which is handy for the Dutchman as he oversaw a 5-2 win against the Foxes in the Carabao Cup in Gameweek 9.

Fernandes banked 18 points that night and while Steve Cooper is likely to name a stronger side this time around, the Portuguese playmaker will fancy his chances of another successful outing.

Kostas Tsimikas (£2.9m)

Liverpool are flying right now.

You don’t need us to explain the benefits of selecting the likes of Mohamed Salah (£7.3m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m) but the Reds’ Greek left-back is worth flagging.

Tsimikas currently features in just 0.9% of teams but he’s seemingly leapfrogged Andy Robertson (£4.1m) in the pecking order.

He started against both Brighton and Bayer Leverkusen in Gameweek 10 and returned 19 for his efforts.

Recruiting Tsimikas ahead of Gameweek 11 comes with risk as Aston Villa are relatively difficult opponents on paper and it wouldn’t be a total surprise if Robertson was given the nod by Arne Slot.

However, the prospect of an in-form defender starting for the league leaders at just £2.9m is hugely appealing.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (£3.6m) and/or Matheus Cunha (£4.4m)

A couple of one-week punts to finish.

Wolves are yet to win a league game this season but their most talented players have the ability to bank plenty of points against Southampton at Molineux on Saturday.

Ait-Nouri leads the way for goal involvements (three goals, two assists) among Dream Team defenders this season.

The Algeria international is a left-back in the loosest possible sense; he takes up some extremely advanced positions.

Cunha is a class act and a man in form having taken 24 points from his last three games.

The Brazilian forward ranks highly in his position for bonus points and big chances created.

Gaffers who like to seek out differential options for short-terms gains should look to Wolves this weekend.
