Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with four 2pm BST matches.

The headline team news comes from St Mary’s, where Bukayo Saka is fit to start for Arsenal despite picking up a knock against PSV on Thursday. Oleksandr Zinchenko remains sidelined with a calf injury, so Takehiro Tomiyasu deputises again, having got the nod in the last two league matches.

Southampton make three changes, with Lyanco, Ibrahima Diallo and Stuart Armstrong coming in for Kyle Walker-Peters, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Che Adams.

Aston Villa are under caretaker management after Steven Gerrard’s sacking, with Aaron Danks making three alterations. Matty Cash, Leander Dendoncker and Emiliano Buendia are all handed starts, as Jan Bednarek, Jacob Ramsey and captain John McGinn drop out. Douglas Luiz is available after his red card against Fulham in midweek was overturned on appeal.

Brentford make just the one change, as Kristoffer Ajer comes in for Ben Mee.

At Elland Road, Jesse Marsch makes wholesale changes, bringing in Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk, Sam Greenwood and Rodrigo. Tyler Adams (muscle injury) is among those who drop out along with Patrick Bamford. The latter’s fitness is still being managed, with Marsch perhaps not wanting to push him to the limit.

Opposite number Marco Silva recalls Tosin Adarabioyo at the expense of Issa Diop, while Harry Wilson replaces Neeskens Kebano. Daniel James, meanwhile, is ineligible to face his parent club.

Wolves have no new injury concerns but interim boss Steve Davis makes two changes to the starting XI that lost to Crystal Palace, as Jonny and Joao Moutinho are preferred to Nelson Semedo and Boubacar Traore, both of whom are substitutes. Rayan Ait-Nouri is free from illness but is also benched, with Hugo Bueno preferred at left-back having impressed on his full debut at Selhurst Park.

James Maddison returns from a one-match ban for Leicester City, while Patson Daka is brought back into the side up top at Molineux.

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years

    1. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Right now mate. I've decided to delay bed time by 45 minutes. Plus stoppage time...

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

  11. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Took a -4 for saka and Foden for Trossard and Sterling.

    Currently on -11

    Come on Bukayo

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      May the earthrise be with you

  12. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Swansea City win the south Wales derby 2-0 with 82% possession

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Cardiff played 84 minutes with 10 men though.

      Although, granted, Cardiff are crap.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would have been 72% possession if they had 11 players 😉

  13. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What do you reckon is the best game to watch?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Saints vs. Gunners.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's what I've gone with.

        1. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Mind you there's just been a goal in the Aston Villa v. Brentford match... sign of an upcoming goalfest? haha.

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Ah god damn it that was my other option.

            1. BeaversWithAttitude
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              And another!

  18. Rainer

    FINALLY Raya concedes.

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ah yes of course, a Bailey goal after finally selling him for Foden.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I took my first hit of the season to do a double transfer - Foden and Saka in; Trossard and Bailey out. Ouch!

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Great moves.

      2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch, short term pain for long term gain … absolutely typical of course.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is fpl

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Welcome to FPL!

  20. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bailey wipes out Raya CS...

  21. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bailey and Neco on my bench. And yes every time Bailey scores hes on the bench.

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Play him then

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        May be an option again now Gerrard is gone

      2. dansmusen
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Played him lots of weeks when he did nothing

  22. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It's always the hope with Raya that kills you

  23. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If I were in the market for an Arsenal defender, I would definitely go for Gabriel. Not sure why people still going for Saliba. Well, I guess it has to do with total points...

    Might go for a triple-up of Gabriel, White and Zinchenko on WC15 if Zinc's back, then BB them in GW16.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Saliba only has one thing over Gabriel & it's the thing most buyers just look at.

  24. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hahaha Raya fail already. This wildcard continues to make me cry!

  25. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Time to bet Saka to score. I transferred Foden in instead of him.

  26. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Tielephones ringing!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      good one!

  27. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bailey assist...

  28. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Odegaard misses

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Argh!

  29. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bailey essential with no Gerrard!

  30. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Course I decided to play Andreas instead of Bailey last minute. Course I did.

    Ffs doesn’t just stand for Fantasy Football scout.
