Gameweek 11 of the 2025/26 Premier League season delivered fireworks, shock results, and some truly elite Fantasy Premier League performances.
From clean-sheet heroes to unexpected scorers, several players
turned the game week on its head—rewarding managers who placed faith in their differential picks.
Let’s take a look at the standout performers who made the biggest FPL impact in Gameweek 11.
Emiliano Martínez – Aston Villa’s Wall
When Aston Villa demolished Bournemouth 4–0, Emiliano Martínez was at the heart of it all.
The Argentine shot-stopper not only kept a clean sheet but also saved a penalty—racking up a sensational 14 FPL points, the highest by any goalkeeper in GW11.
Martínez continues to prove why he’s among the best fantasy goalkeepers in the game, combining world-class reflexes with consistency that managers can rely on.
Malo Gusto – Chelsea’s Surprise Star
Few expected Malo Gusto to be among the top scorers this week, but the young Chelsea fullback delivered his best performance yet.
He not only secured a clean sheet but also scored his first senior goal for the club—rewarding his FPL owners with an incredible 15 points.
For a player valued as a budget defender, Gusto’s attacking and defensive contributions made him one of the week’s biggest surprises.
Daniel Ballard – Sunderland’s Defensive Dynamo
Sunderland continues to defy expectations, and Daniel Ballard embodied that spirit in GW11.
The central defender stood firm against Arsenal’s formidable attack, even scoring a goal in a commanding display at the Stadium of Light.
With a total of 10 points, Ballard’s mix of defensive stability and goal threat made him a key contributor for both Sunderland and FPL managers.
Michael Keane – Everton’s Rock at the Back
Everton center-back Michael Keane produced one of his best-ever fantasy returns in GW11.
Not only did he help his side keep a clean sheet against Fulham, but he also found the back of the net—a dream combination for any FPL defender.
His efforts earned him a stellar 15 points, delighting managers who backed the veteran defender in what’s been a roller-coaster season for the Toffees.
Nico O’Reilly – City’s Rising Defensive Star
At just 20 years old, Nico O’Reilly continues to shine for Manchester City. The left-back was instrumental in shutting down Mohamed Salah during City’s emphatic win over Liverpool.
O’Reilly also provided an assist and helped his side to a clean sheet, earning 11 FPL points. His blend of composure and attacking instinct makes him a potential long-term gem for fantasy managers.
Jérémy Doku – Electrifying and Unstoppable
There was no stopping Jérémy Doku in Gameweek 11. The Belgian winger terrorized Liverpool’s defense, scoring once and contributing to City’s dominant 3–0 victory.
With a goal, clean-sheet points, and bonuses combined, Doku walked away with 11 points—and reminded everyone why he’s one of the league’s most exciting attacking prospects.
His explosive style is turning him into a must-watch fantasy option.
Tomáš Souček – The Super Sub Strikes Again
West Ham’s Tomáš Souček once again proved that you don’t need 90 minutes to make a massive FPL impact.
Coming off the bench, the Czech midfielder scored a goal and registered an assist, doubling his points tally from the previous week. Souček earned 12 points in under 30 minutes.
Igor Thiago – The Sharpest Striker of the Week
Igor Thiago was clinical for Brentford as he netted two goals against Newcastle United, earning a total of 13 points in GW11.
He was the only striker to deliver double-digit returns this week, making him the standout forward option for fantasy managers.
With his current form and confidence, Thiago could quickly become one of the go-to picks for managers looking to capitalize on attacking fixtures.
