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.

    Walcott needs to go to diving school

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Same old Arsenal...

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bookmarked

      1. Rainer

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

    If you are 1m rank at this point in the season, is top 10k still realistic? Asking for a friend

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’d say anything is possible so yes

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

      Possible, but highly unlikely.
      There’s too many engaged managers following the same advice as you.
      Needs a massive dollop of luck!

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

      Nah I don't think so.
      The experience of all the years of FPL has shown me that it always takes me 3-4 times as much time to climb up the ranks as it does to fall. If I do the math, I come to the conclusion that it's pretty much impossible.
      I was in the top 200k 3 GWs ago and dropped to 1.2m in just one GW.

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

        sorry wanted to say 6-8 times

    4. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How about 2m rank? Asking for a friend also

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

      No chance, game is just too spoonfed now and too over populated

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

    Wolves need to score

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Leicester defense was always going to come good, just needed time, like with Newcastle

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

      They're okay at home, they've been destroyed today!

  12. thepancakeman123
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Given Doherty has been benched today and will presumable play in the CL game midweek, would you start Botman vs Villa at home over Doherty vs Bournemouth away?

  13. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need a Son hattrick to save my gw

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Need a Father & Son hat trick each

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

        Don't have one?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          You must have the former!

  14. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It feels like Saka has only got a few touches this half

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

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

  16. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

  17. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

  18. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Arsenal triple up on WC failed this GW
    Hope it pays in the coming GWs

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

    FPL tower really didn't want Ward to have 3bps and 2 save points.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lyanco lucky to be on the pitch

  26. SirWenger
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Danny "The GK HAUL" Ward...they were mocking and laughing at you. Then you changed the game. FPL towers removed one save and two baps today but it's still 8 pointer again.

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

    Uhhhh shouldn't that be a red? Pretty sure you can't try and choke someone

  28. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Yeah, that Lyanco dude seems like kind of a nutter
