Gameweek 11: Gabriel Essential, Salah Sales Surge & Differential Gems Revealed

Welcome back, FPL managers! Thanks for subscribing to Who Got The Points? We've got everything you need to dominate Gameweek 11, from essential transfers to differential picks that could separate you from the pack. Let's dive into the analysis.

Transfers in this week: 320,000+

This man is absolutely flying into squads and for good reason. Gabriel scored 12 points in Gameweek 10 with an assist, a clean sheet, and two bonus points. Arsenal have kept seven clean sheets this season and Gabriel has 80 total points already - elite numbers for a defender.

With Mikel Arteta's side facing Nottingham Forest at home, the clean sheet potential is massive. Gabriel is involved in everything - set pieces, attacking threat, and defensive solidity.

Verdict: Essential. Gabriel should be in your team yesterday.

Transfers in this week: 452,000

The Crystal Palace striker scored 9 points last week with a goal and clean sheet bonus. He's bagged 6 goals this season and Oliver Glasner's side have hit form at the perfect time. Mateta has 9.3 expected points for Gameweek 11 against Wolves at home - one of the best fixtures you could ask for.

He's a penalty taker, he's in form, and he's got great fixtures coming up. Palace are creating chances and Mateta is their main goal threat.

Verdict: Good buy if you can afford him. He's template for a reason.

Transfers in this week: 67,000

This budget enabler is flying under the radar with 29 total points from just 7 games, averaging 4.1 per game. He started and played 61 minutes in Gameweek 10, scoring 2 points. With 4 goals this season already and 6.7 expected points next, he's perfect bench fodder who can actually contribute.

At 4.4% ownership, he's still differential enough to give you an edge over rivals.

Verdict: Good buy if you need to free up funds. He's a budget gem who actually plays.

Transfers out this week: 72,000+

Yes, he scored 10 points in Gameweek 10 with a goal and two bonus, but his price drop of three ticks tells the story. Liverpool face Wolves away in a tricky fixture, and at £14.2m, that cash could fund two premium picks elsewhere. He's got 52 total points but his form rating of 6 suggests inconsistency.

The template is shifting away from premium midfielders and toward stacked defenses and multiple strikers. Salah's massive price tag makes squad flexibility difficult.

Verdict: Controversial, but consider selling. You can reinvest that money better across your squad.

Transfers out this week: 41,000

The Manchester United captain got 5 points last week with an assist but looks vulnerable. He's got 45 total points, averaging 4.5 per game - not good enough for his price. With Ruben Amorim now in charge, there's uncertainty around roles and formations. His price has dropped once already and could fall again.

Verdict: Sell if you need funds elsewhere. Better midfield options exist at that price point.

Transfers out this week: 63,000

This one needs context. He blanked in Gameweek 10 with just 2 points but he's actually been solid with 53 total points and 4 goals plus 1 assist this season. The transfers out might be premature because Brentford have decent fixtures ahead.

Brentford can score goals and Mbeumo is central to everything they do. One blank shouldn't trigger a panic sale.

Verdict: Hold. Don't follow the crowd on this one. The fixtures improve and he's still a threat.

He bagged 8 points in Gameweek 10, starting and playing 76 minutes with a goal and a bonus point. He's got 2 goals and 1 assist this season with 4 clean sheets. Murphy has 5.7 expected points for Gameweek 11 and Eddie Howe seems to trust him.

If Anthony Gordon is out injured, Murphy's minutes are guaranteed and his attacking threat increases. At just 1.1% ownership, he could be a league-winning differential.

12 points last week tell you everything. He played the full 90, scored, and grabbed 3 bonus points. The Brazilian has 3 goals and 2 assists already this season with 42 total points. With Ruben Amorim's arrival, his role could be even more important.

9 expected points next makes him fascinating as a budget midfielder who can actually return. United face Fulham - a winnable fixture where Casemiro could thrive in a more advanced role.

48 total points from 10 games is impressive for a defensive midfielder. He's got 2 goals, 1 assist, and 3 clean sheets. Thomas Frank's system suits him perfectly and he's nailed on for minutes. 6 expected points next against a leaky defense makes him worth a punt.

Palhinha offers consistency and ceiling - a rare combination at this price point.

It has to be Gabriel from Arsenal. 12 expected points against Nottingham Forest at home. Arsenal's defensive record is phenomenal and Gabriel is involved in everything - set pieces, attacking threat, and bonus point potential.

If you're feeling brave, Mateta against Wolves is a shout with his 9.3 expected points, but Gabriel is the safe, sensible pick with huge ceiling.
