This week in Fantasy Challenge we have the final “Test Lab” event, which offers managers the chance to shape the future of Fantasy Premier League.

Gameweek 11's challenge, titled “Accuracy”, allows players to earn an extra three points for every shot on target.

It means that as well as being rewarded for all the usual achievements like goals and assists in regular Fantasy, opting for high-volume - and, more importantly, precise - shooters could help you rack up an even bigger score over the weekend.

Managers are handed an unlimited budget and tasked with picking a five-a-side team set out in one of three different formations: 1-1-2, 1-2-1 or 2-1-1.

You can enter a team right up until 16:30 GMT on Sunday, picking any player whose team are yet to start their match. Here, Alex Dakers identifies some of the best remaining picks.

The headline match of the weekend between Chelsea and Arsenal also brings together several of the highest-performing players for shots on target in the first 10 Gameweeks.

At the back, Gabriel (£6.1m) is the main man to look at. The Brazilian centre-back has had four shots on target in the league, has scored two goals and had a header cleared off the line against Internazionale in the Champions League in midweek.

No other defender fit to play in this match currently has more than one shot on target, which is the tally reached by Levi Colwill (£4.5m), Malo Gusto (£4.9m) and Ben White (£6.2m).

In midfield, Bukayo Saka (£10.1m), Cole Palmer (£10.9m) and Noni Madueke (£6.4m) are all level at 12 shots on target heading into their Gameweek 11 showdown.

Some of the creative duties Saka has taken on this season may be passed back to the returning Martin Odegaard (£8.2m), possibly allowing the former to fire off more attempts of his own again. Chelsea, it should be said, are in the bottom half of the table based on shots on target conceded.

For the hosts, a knock against Man Utd last weekend has thrown Palmer’s fitness into doubt, but those looking for a Chelsea asset may even end up better served by Nicolas Jackson (£7.9m) in this week’s Fantasy Challenge.

That’s because the Senegalese forward has 14 shots on target already, matching Forest’s Wood near the very top of the leaderboard among all Premier League players so far.

As for Arsenal’s frontline, Kai Havertz (£8.0m) is the forward to consider. He has had 10 shots on target in the league and managed five attempts in the Gunners’ loss to Inter on Wednesday.

However, a head injury sustained in that encounter may leave his participation on Sunday up in the air - so be sure to check the teamsheets first.
