This week’s FPL Challenge, called "Change The Game", is the first of a three-Gameweek series in collaboration with Sports Interactive's Football Manager game, after Football Manager 26 was released on Tuesday.
In Gameweek 11's challenge, all bonus points are DOUBLED. Here, FPL expert Marc Jobling reveals his team and explains his thinking, to help managers pick their own line-up.

Goalkeepers
Robin Roefs provides a nice balance between collecting clean sheets (four) and making lots of saves (34). That’s why he’s the leading goalkeeper for bonus points, with six.
However, Sunderland host leaders Arsenal on Saturday.
That’s why Tottenham Hotspur’s Guglielmo Vicario may be a better choice. The next-best goalkeeper for bonus points, with five, he matches Roefs’ totals for clean sheets and saves, and faces Manchester United. No team have fired out more shots on target than the Red Devils, with 53.
An honourable mention goes to Matz Sels. He shared last season’s Golden Glove and has made 35 saves in 2025/26, one more than Roefs and Vicario. But Nottingham Forest are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
At home to Leeds, new manager Sean Dyche could be able to inspire a first shutout of the campaign.
Defenders
Arsenal have kept a staggering eight consecutive clean sheets in all competitions, so it’s hard to look past Gabriel right now.
He combines that clean-sheet potential with a huge attacking threat and good passing – on seven occasions, he’s reached the 90 per cent completion rate required for extra BPS. Meanwhile, only one player, Erling Haaland, has bettered Gabriel’s total of 13 bonus points.
No defender beats Daniel Munoz for attacking returns (four) or shots on target (six). Crystal Palace’s wing-back also ranks second for shots (12) and penalty-area touches (31).
He’s a very tempting option, although the home meeting with rivals Brighton & Hove Albion doesn’t demand the attention that Chelsea being at home to bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers does.
The problem is that picking a Chelsea defender means you can't pick of their attackers. But for those who do want to invest in the Blues' defence, Trevoh Chalobah was rested in midweek and has two goals, one assist and a superb pass completion rate, boosting his chances of picking up bonus points.
Midfielders
I'll be covering Chelsea higher up the pitch, with my one and only midfield pick in a 2-1-2 formation.
Enzo Fernandez is passing the eye test of FPL managers but has somehow blanked in his last three outings, despite five shots on target, two big chances and creating eight chances. Encouragingly for him next up, winless Wolves have conceded in every match, letting in a total of 22 goals.
Looking at other midfielders who are worthy of consideration, especially if you want to use a different formation, this position’s bonus-point leaders are Ryan Gravenberch and Declan Rice, who are both on 10. The latter takes a chunk of Arsenal’s notoriously good set-pieces, adding a couple of open-play goals to his tally of four assists.
Antoine Semenyo and Moises Caicedo are both on nine bonus points. The AFC Bournemouth winger beats all others in this position for goals (six), attacking returns (10) and shots on target (13). But the Cherries do have a tricky trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.
Another contender is Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, at home to Fulham. He combines penalties with a decent open-play threat and solid creativity, but he is an injury doubt after hobbling out of Monday's 1-1 draw at Sunderland.
Forwards
There’s simply no reason not to pick Erling Haaland. Leading the way for goals (13), shots (43), bonus points (23) and many other categories, there’s not even a fear about him facing champions Liverpool.
Although recent wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid suggest that the Reds have turned a corner, they’re still the second-worst defence for allowing big chances (28) over this Premier League campaign.
Alongside the Norwegian is Jarrod Bowen. West Ham’s talisman was unlucky in Gameweek 10, seeing a shot bounce off a post, having a penalty overturned and narrowly missing out on an assist for their third goal.
Now at home to Burnley, the Hammers are hoping to make it two wins from two. Furthermore, Bowen is the FPL forward with the fourth-most shots on target (11) and sits third for bonus points in his position, with nine.
