Erling Haaland (£12.2m) is the go-to captain pick for millions of managers each Gameweek in Fantasy Premier League but it is worth bearing in mind he is not the only show in town.
TV Info - Broadcasters
The Manchester City forward has plundered 15 goals and three assists in his first nine appearances of his extraordinary debut Fantasy campaign.
But he has only top-scored on two occasions.
That means managers can steal a march on their mini-league rivals by being brave enough to captain an alternative.
Top FPL points scorers in each Gameweek

The Scout's panel of FPL experts look at the players who could outscore Haaland in Gameweek 11.
What the experts say
Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily)
Harry Kane (£11.4m) has been quietly ticking over the points every week since Gameweek 2. However, despite being the second highest-scoring player in the game the Tottenham Hotspur talisman has yet to return an explosive FPL haul.
He has returned two double-digit hauls in his last three meetings with Gameweek 11 opponents Everton. He averages 7.36 points per match against the Toffees in the Premier League, so this week could be the week for a big Kane return. If it wasn't for Haaland I would hand Kane the captain's armband this weekend.

Aston Villa have only scored six goals so far this season and I'm fully expecting a clean sheet for the Chelsea defence. Reece James (£6.1m) was substituted with an injury concern in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening. However, if he is fit then I expect him to come back into the Chelsea team in time to face the shot-shy Villans in Gameweek 11. James also sits third-best among defenders for xGI (Expected Goal Involvement), so potential for returns at both ends of the pitch look on.

It will undoubtedly be Haaland who is the top points scorer this weekend, however Gabriel Jesus (£8.0m) will likely be second. He plays in an Arsenal team who are full of attacking talent. They will keep creating chances and he is the perfect man to take them. This weekend he faces a Leeds side who have conceded the majority of their chances this season down the centre of the pitch where you will find Jesus.

Chelsea's James hasn't had a haul yet so far this season. I'm backing him to get an attacking return along with a probable clean sheet against a struggling Aston Villa this weekend, so long as he is fit after the Champions League knock.

On current form, Kane has the potential to post a big score at home to Everton. He's making a habit of scoring in every game he plays at the moment. Plus he's on penalties.

In a week where last year's top two sides play each other, Kane is a good shout. He is yet to blank since Gameweek 1, and looks good for another haul against Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Bukayo Saka (£7.8m) plays a Leeds side who have improved a lot. However, Arsenal's firepower might be too much for them. I expect him to be the highest-scoring player this weekend.

No team have conceded more shots than Everton over the last six Gameweeks. In reality they have been fortunate not to concede more. I fancy Kane to go big this weekend and be the top points scorer.

I can see the Arsenal attackers return big points hauls against Leeds this weekend. Jesus may well be the one who repeats his heroics from Gameweek 2 and be the top-scoring player this week.
