The Premier League returns this weekend with another full set of fixtures (keep an eye on news reports, however, as there is a possibility that Cardiff vs Leicester may be postponed, given the tragic events of last Saturday at The King Power), but before analysing the clean sheet and anytime goalscorer odds for Gameweek 11, we begin with a review of how the Bookies’ Advantage squad performed last time out…

Mo Salah proved a superb captaincy pick as he returned 30 points courtesy of a goal, 2 assists and 2 bonus, whilst Ben Foster’s heroics (10) were another highlight for our side. Cedric (8) also made a fine contribution, as did Chelsea pair Willian (7) and David Luiz (6) to help the Bookies’ Advantage squad chalk up a total of 72 points. We were, however, let down by Liverpool duo Roberto Firmino and Dejan Lovren, whilst our Fulham selections disappointed as they blanked at home to Bournemouth.

⚽ ENTER OUR MOST REWARDING FANTASY TOURNAMENT NOW On the back of 6 clean sheets in a row, it’s no surprise to see Manchester City top the bookies’ defensive rankings with a 56% chance of shutting out Southampton at The Etihad on Sunday. When we also consider the fact that the Saints haven’t found the net in their last 5 games, a clean sheet for the Citizens looks extremely likely. Benjamin Mendy would normally be our choice here, but following a shaky performance on Monday against Tottenham, we opt for the security, and value, of Aymeric Laporte, who has played every minute of Premier League football so far this season.

Chelsea (50%) rank second prior to their hosting of Crystal Palace. Maurizio Sarri’s men have prevented their opponents from scoring in 3 of their last 5 matches, whilst the Eagles have also blanked in 3 of their last 5. David Luiz continues to offer value at £5.5m and starts once again for our squad.

Everton (45%) and West Ham (43%) complete the top 4 defensive prospects for Gameweek 11 ahead of favourable home fixtures against Brighton and Burnley respectively. With 2 clean sheets, 2 penalty saves and 6 bonus points in his last 4 outings, Jordan Pickford is currently the form goalkeeper in the game, and has the chance to continue his hot streak on Saturday against a Brighton side who have failed to score in 3 of their 5 away games this term. The Hammers, meanwhile, entertain an out-of-sorts Burnley, who, like Brighton, have blanked in 3 of their 5 games on the road this season. Fabian Balbuena came good on his recent goalscoring threat by bagging against Leicester last time out, whilst he also rewarded his owners with 2 bonus points when West Ham registered their only shutout of the season so far (in Gameweek 6 at home to Chelsea). Both men provide value routes into their respective defences and make our starting XI.

It’s as you were on our bench, with the value it provides continuing to prove unbeatable. Ben Hamer (32%) is unlikely to feature against Fulham, but is still the likeliest £4.0m keeper to see any game time, whilst Ryan Bennett (25%) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (9%) remain superb options in defence at the same price point. This weekend they host Spurs and travel to Chelsea respectively.
