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. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years

        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Twice lashing out at Arsenal players. Punching Jesus in the back before HT, and attempted headbutt at the end there.

  2. Rainer

    James Justin doesn't feel like enough Leicester defensive cover...

    He only gets 6 points every week 🙁

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years

            • 15 Years

            Close up video of the foul on Silva, if anyone missed it and seriously thinks it was a dive...

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

    If I had known about that leaked Liverpool team news yesterday I would have started Periera and benched Trent. Now Im stuck with Trent's 1 point and Periera with 10 on my bench. Effing fuming!!!

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

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

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

      no chance of getting hit against toothless arsenal

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

        Arsenal scored today. And have scored second most in the league this season. What are you on about

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

          they were shite today

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

    Arsenal are in trouble when they start playing good teams!

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

    arsenal dropping pts, all is right in the world

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

    Deserved point for Southampton. Played very well in that 2nd half.

  15. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Great performance there ref. Southampton defenders getting away with foul after foul

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

      Arsenal don’t like it when teams get physical? Best way to play them.

      Lovely seeing Jesus rolling around crying

  16. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best 4.6m defender for the next 3?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dalot?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Looking at him. With Varane possibly out, think they are weaker defensively.

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Castagne

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        City up next

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

      Kehrer
      Tarkowski

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

      Dalot

  17. Hits from the Bong
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ouch I transferred out Andreas for Saka last night to beat the price changes

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

    Jokes on you cos my bench is just as crap as my first team...

  19. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    WC dream mid of Salah, Saka, Foden, Martinelli score a combined 6 points

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

      Yes lol
      Same here
      Hope it pays off coming GWs

  20. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    5 points from the Midfield Saka Foden Zaha Mount between them ffs

  21. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trippier two assists

    Let's go!

  22. Urban Cowboy.
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A Solanke goal tomorrow would make this a pretty good weekend.

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

      Either that, or just sit out entirely please.

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

      I need more than one goal

  23. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Arsenal performance level dropped dramatically in the second half. Be interesting to see how they cope with the fixture schedule coming up. Can't see them keeping pace with City .

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

      It often drops with them, but usually picks up again. Worrying not to see that today. Either the equaliser demoralised them (validating all the Arsenal DNA comments) or they are fatigued (as you suggest). Either way, it's not promising. But I'm still on the hype train. Played some beautiful stuff in the first half.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Certainly good to watch ( Chelsea fan here and I'm not pretending that the blues are a good watch currently). This season is going to break quite a few players imo. Way too many games concentrated into a relatively short time frame

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

    We all know what time it is now don’t we?!

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

      Time to tell the Kaptain to put a sock in it...

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He's only just started ....

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

          Yes Slouch! You know the main course is only just being prepped

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            lol

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

        Lol you love me really.

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

      Time for a quiet 1-1
      Hojberg & Longstaff (no assists)

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

        Worst prediction ever, sorry

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

          The goal scorers yes.
          The score is perfectly feasible

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

            Sunday dinner is always a feast

  25. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I have Neco , Andreas and Ward on the bench.

    21 f()king points on the bench! 🙁

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

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

    Points on bench: 34
    Points in XI bar Haaland and Kane: 8

    Unreal scenes, Geoff

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

      Slim.
      I smell a Andreas/Neco bench blocking coming

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