Gameweek 10 proved to be a poor one for the Bookies’ Advantage picks, with captain Sergio Aguero failing to see pitch time and vice captain Alexandre Lacazette not producing attacking returns. Our highest scorer was Roberto Firmino, whose goal and 2 bonus brought home 8 points, as the squad limped home with a meagre total of 36. Nevertheless, an immediate opportunity for the bookies to redeem themselves presents itself this weekend, so read on as we analyse the clean sheet and anytime goalscorer markets to help you with those all important captaincy, transfer and squad selection decisions…

On the back of a morale-boosting win over Real Madrid on Wednesday, Tottenham top the bookies’ defensive rankings with a 51% chance of keeping a clean sheet ahead of their home game against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Mauricio Pochettino’s men are a solid defensive unit, conceding just twice in their last 4 league games, whilst also keeping 2 clean sheets in their last 3 at home. With the Eagles yet to score on the road in 5 attempts this term, everything points towards the Lillywhites back line as a source of fantasy returns. With 4 assists to his name, Kieran Trippier makes our starting XI.

Southampton (50%) rank second when they host Burnley on Saturday. The Saints shut out West Brom in their last home game, whilst the Clarets blanked in their most recent away game at Manchester City. As a result, we select Cedric Soares for our squad, with the Portuguese the cheapest secure route into the Southampton defence.

Swansea (41%) and Huddersfield (38%) complete the top 4 defensive prospects for Gameweek 11. Despite neither being in particularly good form, favorable home fixtures against Brighton and West Brom, who have scored 4 and 3 goals scored on their travels respectively, have boosted their prospects in the eyes of the odds compilers. Kyle Naughton has registered an assist and 4 bonus points this season, whilst Jonas Lossl sits third in the FPL goalkeeper standings having saved a penalty last weekend and also collected 8 bonus points over the course of the campaign. Both start for our team this weekend.

On the bench, Rob Elliott (£4.0m – 37%) hosts a Bournemouth side that have scored just 3 goals in 5 away games, whilst Jonjoe Kenny (£4.5m – 36%) has started the last 2 at right back for Everton. The Toffees host Watford on Sunday afternoon, with our third sub Adrian Mariappa (£4.0m – 24%) still the likeliest ultra-budget defender to see game time, despite his relegation to the Hornets’ bench last weekend.

Back from injury during Tottenham’s midweek Champions League success over Real Madrid, Harry Kane tops the bookies’ attacking rankings with a 69% chance of scoring against rock-bottom Crystal Palace on Sunday lunchtime. The Eagles have conceded 12 on their travels so far this season (5 games), whilst Kane bagged a monster 16 point haul (2 goals, 1 assist, 3 bonus) against Liverpool in his last home league appearance. The England hitman is already leading the race for the Golden Boot (8 goals) and takes our captain’s armband this weekend.

Gabriel Jesus (58%) and Tammy Abraham (35%) complete our forward line for Gameweek 11. Rested midweek (bar a 1 minute substitute appearance), City’s Brazilian starlet looks primed to start on Sunday at home to Arsenal, and with 5 goals in his last 6 Etihad appearances in all competitions, could continue to profit against the Gunners, who have the sixth most obliging away defence in the top flight (9 goals conceded in 5 matches). Having been called up to the senior England squad for the first time this week, Tammy Abraham, who has netted 3 times in his last 3 games at The Liberty Stadium, will be looking to show just why he deserves his chance on the international stage. A home clash with Brighton awaits the young striker this weekend.

The bookies also fancy the chances of Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy, Roberto Firmino, Manolo Gabbiadini, Joselu, Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku, but we forgo their services due to budget constraints or a lack of starting security.

Our midfield has the potential to explode as, for this first time this term, we are able to select the bookies’ top 4 prospects. Dele Alli (47%) has found his shooting boots again with 3 goals in his last 2 outings in all competitions and forms a mouth-watering attacking double up with Harry Kane for Tottenham’s hosting of Crystal Palace.

Mohamed Salah, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling are all deemed to have a 38% chance of scoring this weekend and the trio complete our midfield and starting XI. After missing a penalty, much to the frustration of his owners, in Gameweek 10, Liverpool’s Egyptian wizard was back on the scoresheet on Wednesday night in Europe to take his tally to 11 goals in 18 games since joining the Reds this summer. A trip to West Ham, who have conceded 19 goals this term, offers the opportunity for further profit. City’s midfield duo, meanwhile, have been on fire of late. Over their last 6 league games, Sane has chalked up 4 goals and 5 assists, whilst Sterling has hit 5 goals and laid on another 2 for his teammates. They form part of a Citizens attacking triple up for our squad this weekend against Arsene Wenger’s troops.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek (14%) now has back-to-back assists in all competitions for Palace and takes the first spot on our substitutes bench.
