JOE’s Fantasy Football tips – week 11

After last week's inspired selection of Steven Fletcher, we felt we were in danger of getting too big for our britches.

While we hope some of you followed our advice and captained the Sunderland striker (who got one goal and one assist in the Tyne-Wear Derby), we wanted to change tack this week. That's why we opened things up to our readers. From this week forward, we will be offering up three suggestions of our own and three from you. Let's see who does best from now until the end of the season. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/659783619532029952

JOE's picks

Aleksandar Mitrovic - Striker - £6.2m

While Gini Wijnaldum has stolen the headlines of late for Newcastle United, another of their big-money signings has been quietly (by his own standards at least) finding his feet in the Premier League. £15m man Mitrovic has toned down some of the more reckless elements of his game following a red card against Arsenal, and has found his scoring form with goals against Manchester City and Norwich. There's always the risk of a booking (he even got carded for celebrating a team-mate's goal while on Serbia duty) but the visit of Stoke provides a great chance for the Serb to add to his Magpies tally. https://twitter.com/WhoScored/status/652468656727654402

Bafetimbi Gomis - Striker - £6.9m

After four goals in the first four games of the season, Gomis has failed to find the net since, but this weekend offers up the perfect chance for him to end that barren spell. Put simply, the French international loves playing against Arsenal. He only scored seven league goals in his first Swansea season, but two of those were winners against Arsene Wenger's side. It seems like a few of you had the same thought process... https://twitter.com/Infernikus/status/659783739657068545

Aleksandar Kolarov - Defender - £6.1m

If you've got some budget left over for your defence, Kolarov should be a nailed-on pick. Opponents Norwich tend to use the very attacking Nathan Redmond on the right of their midfield, and while this can cause defenders problems it also allows them to get forward. And Kolarov loves to get forward. Manchester City scored 11 goals in their last two home games, and you'd put good money on them adding to that total against the Canaries. https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/597387583111471104
