4. Best Captain Pick in GW11

Who is the best captain in Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 11?

Tottenham have the best fixture (according to bookies odds) in Gameweek 11, so captaining Son could be a good choice. However, you cannot go wrong with captaining Haaland either. He still will be heavily captained with highly effective ownership.

If you want to go with a differential captain, consider captaining Cunha, or Mbeumo.

According to our captaincy index, Salah is the best captain in FPL Gameweek 11 with a captaincy index score of 1.86 

Son (captaincy index score 1.62) is the number 2 captaincy pick and Solanke (1.58) is number 3.
