Spurs face Ipswich at home in Gameweek 11, but managers should be cautious of their midweek Europa League fixture against Galatasaray before making early transfers.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)
Position: Midfielder

Projected GW11 Points: 4.7
Bowen has been West Ham's standout performer this season, accumulating 47 points with 3 goals and 3 assists. His underlying stats suggest his performance is sustainable, with an xG of 2.14 and expected assists (xA) of 2.96.
The Match Centre feature highlights his talismanic influence for West Ham, where he leads the team in goals (2) and attempted assists (12), and ranks second for xG (1.5) and shots on target (5) over the last five games.

Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Position: Forward
Cost: £6.7m
Projected GW11 Points: 4.4
Cunha has been a revelation, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist for a total of 47 points, despite a challenging set of opening fixtures. Leading this differential selection with 8 big chances created, his xG of 2.41 and xA of 3.42 suggest more returns are likely.
Wolves face Southampton at home in Gameweek 11, a team with the league's second-highest expected goals conceded (22.68), according to the Opta Stats Sandbox tool—indicating they may be fortunate to have conceded only 19 goals so far. This begins a favourable run of fixtures, making Cunha an appealing longer-term option.

Udogie has shown strong attacking potential, with 1 assist and an expected assists (xA) of 0.95.

Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United)
Position: Defender
Cost: £5.0m
Projected GW11 Points: 3.7
De Ligt has delivered 2 clean sheets and a goal this season, amassing 29 points. His xG of 0.76 signals a set-piece threat, with the most shots on target (5) of any Manchester United defender, and United's defensive metrics are showing improvement.
A home fixture against Leicester in Gameweek 11 offers clean sheet potential, and with Ipswich away and Everton at home following that, United ranks top for projected clean sheets over the next three gameweeks, according to the Predicted Points & Stats tool.
