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.

    Ars clean sheet wiped,lets all suffer

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

      I suffer only from double CP and double New defense.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That's probably the only good thing that has happened today.

  2. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    From those 11 Goals & Assists I Got Big Zeroooo

  3. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    Tomi distracted by a pigeon

  4. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Elyounoussi has been fantastic. Stopped Jesus scoring one end and sets up Armstrong the other.

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

    I'm about to end up with 10 blanks (not even with a single 3pter) + Haaland. Only eclipsed by that week I had a few years back where my entire team blanked and I ended up on 19pts.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It’s a ‘good’ week to do badly.

      Not many monster scores out there at all (certainly not in my mini-leagues anyway).

      I got a Castsgne cleanie, Mitro & Andreas points from bench. Bowen tomorrow.
      Everyone else has blanked

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years

  8. Rainer

  9. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I sold Trossard and Maddison for Martinelli and Foden after weeks of frustration. Lol at me.

    very happy I benched Saliba

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

      bad decision, good outcome (so far)

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        how is this a bad decision if I predicted they'd go without a cleanie ? 😀

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

    2. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Did you bench Saliba for Neco or Mings?

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        no, benched him for Trippier

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Captain hindsight?

  11. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haaland aside, my 4 bench players are comfortably outscoring the other 10 on the field

  12. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years

      3 years, 5 months ago

  15. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

  16. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need Ward to concede

  17. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison > Foden worked out well then

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

    Of course Maddison scores when we got rid of him

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just now it goes right 🙁

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Brentford goal would be nice, just not Toney.

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      does anyone own villa defenders?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years

  23. The Tinkerman

    My mid over last few weeks:

    Trossard in, blanks
    Trossard out, scores
    Maddison in, banned
