Erling Haaland is still the best FPL captain for Gameweek 11

Erling Haaland has gone two Premier League games without scoring, and Manchester City have lost three in a row. Keep the Fantasy Premier League armband on him for Gameweek 11 if he comes through international duty fit. A home match against Fulham on Saturday, Nov. 21 gives the league’s leading scorer a better chance to rebound than City’s recent results suggest.

Haaland played 90 minutes in each of the two blanks. In Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Nottingham Forest, he rounded goalkeeper Matz Sels and had a shot cleared off the line by Jair Cunha. He curled another effort just wide after halftime. Through 10 league starts he has nine goals and 889 minutes out of a possible 900. He has still been getting chances without losing minutes.

Fulham are unbeaten in four league matches, so this is a stronger opponent than 15th place suggests. Bernd Leno repeatedly denied Harvey Barnes in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle, including after the winger ran in behind. Haaland can exploit that kind of opening at the Etihad. Fulham have conceded 12 goals in 10 games. The matchup favors Haaland, but it falls short of the kind of fixture worth using the Triple Captain chip on. Fulham match report · League table

Alexander Isak is the vice-captain. The £9.3m forward scored his seventh league goal at Crystal Palace and stayed on until stoppage time. Liverpool host a Manchester United side that conceded four against Aston Villa and have gone eight league games without winning. Isak is also the captain pick for managers without Haaland. Both Lineup Optimizer and FPL Apex rank him second in their Nov. 10 projections. Liverpool match report · Premier League matchweek review · Lineup Optimizer · FPL Apex

Norway named Haaland for Nations League matches against Wales and Denmark. If City’s update after the break suggests a substitute appearance or a minutes restriction, move the armband to Isak before the 6 a.m. ET deadline on Nov. 21. A vice-captain takes over only if the captain plays zero minutes. Even a late Haaland cameo would leave the points multiplier with him. Norway squad · FPL rules · Gameweek deadline
