Last Word on Football recommends three forwards you should consider selecting for your FPL Gameweek 11 squad. The FPL deadline is set for 13:30 on November 9.
Three Forwards to Transfer in for FPL Gameweek 11
Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) – Liverpool vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa make a trip to Anfield to face table-toppers Liverpool in what promises to be a goal-fest. Both sides boast some excellent attacking talents, thus making this clash an interesting one to watch.

Striker Ollie Watkins will be instrumental in helping the visitors to put the home defence on the back foot. The Englishman possesses every attribute you would expect in a striker and is bound to be helped by the powerful runs from his teammates Morgan Rogers and Leon Bailey.
Having conceded just six times, Liverpool have the best defence in the league. However, Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win at Anfield showed that the Merseysiders are not invincible. Watkins and Aston Villa will surely take lessons from that game to secure a historic result on Sunday.
Dominic Solanke (£7.7m) – Tottenham Hotspur vs Ipswich Town
Tottenham Hotspur have been blessed with an easy fixture this weekend as they welcome the newly-promoted Ipswich Town to their stadium. While the home side is the league’s highest-scoring attack, the visitors have the second-worst defence. Thus, on paper, this looks like three points in the bag for Ange Postecoglou’s men.

The performance of new signing Dominic Solanke will be crucial to get a positive result from the game. The forward has lifted the goal-scoring burden off Son Heung-min and has proven a “valuable” addition to his team.
He has netted four times and also grabbed a couple of assists this season. His all-round play should help Spurs get an easy win over Ipswich as they look to climb up the table.
Danny Welbeck(£5.9m) – Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City – A Cost-Effective Option for Gameweek 11
33-year-old Danny Welbeck has been one of the standout performers in the 2024/25 term, with six goals and two assists. The former Arsenal striker has been flourishing under new manager Fabian Hurzeler.

On Saturday, Brighton & Hove Albion take on defending Champions Manchester City at the Amex Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side have been uncharacteristically poor defensively as they miss the presence of Ballon d’Or winner Rodrigo Hernandez. Welbeck will look to make full use of City’s defensive lapses.
The Brighton striker was priced at just £5.5m at the beginning of the campaign and has seen his value rise to £5.9m thanks to a series of impressive performances. Even at this price, he provides more value than most of the other high-priced attackers and, thus, should definitely make it to your squad.
