FPL Gameweek 11 replacements for João Pedro and Igor Thiago

Aston Villa’s Nicolas Jackson is the best forward to buy this week to replace João Pedro or Igor Thiago in Fantasy Premier League. The £7.1m striker has scored in three consecutive league games, and Villa come out of the international break with Sunderland at home, Ipswich away and Everton at home. Bournemouth’s Evanilson is the better fit if buying Jackson would force another transfer. Premier League scoring leaders · Premier League schedule · FPL prices

Of the two outgoing forwards, Thiago is the more urgent sale if you need a starter. The Brentford striker was sent off against Brighton, and FPL lists him as suspended until Dec. 5. João Pedro missed Chelsea’s last three league games. Before the Sunderland loss, Xabi Alonso said the club would assess his progress over the break. “For sure, ahead of the Leeds game, I will have more of an update,” Alonso said. If you own both and have one free transfer, move Thiago first and use the break to see what Chelsea say about João Pedro. Brentford match report · FPL availability · Alonso’s team update

Jackson started at Old Trafford, scored from close range in the opening four minutes and set up Leon Goretzka in the 4-4 draw. John McGinn converted Villa’s penalty, so the case for Jackson rests on what he’s doing in open play. Evanilson has scored in five straight league appearances and costs £0.6m less. His two most recent goals came from mistakes by goalkeepers trying to play out from the back. He has been quick to take those chances, but he may have to find a different route to goal against Forest. Villa match report · Premier League matchweek review

Barry is the budget move if the £1.4m saved against Jackson has a job elsewhere in your squad. He scored twice and set up Everton’s third in the 3-1 win over Coventry. The schedule turns quickly, though. After Brentford away, Everton host Liverpool before visiting Villa. With money available and a forward slot you expect to start each week, Jackson has the better run of opponents, and Evanilson leaves £0.6m to spend elsewhere.
