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. Brehmeren
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2 players this gw that scored more than 2 goals

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

      That sounds wonderful

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

      I have 1 player that scored more than 2pts, the one everyone has. If I had to have a week like this I really would have hoped it'd be a midweek GW so I could forget it quickly

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

      Would have been quicker to say you have Ings

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

      Haha, scored more than two points, I meant to say.

  2. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Midfield could have been better….

    Saka 1
    Zaha 1
    Foden 1
    Martinelli 2

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How do you know my midfielders? Ahh you missed Salah ...

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      * And Andreas 10 points on bench lol!

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

      Andreas outscoring them all combined

    4. The Abyss
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Innit.

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

    44 with Trippier left. You just have to laugh :'(

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That's huge

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard+Maddison to Martinelli+Saka (-4) went well 🙂

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      56 points with Kane, Bowen and Pope to go though, not all doom and gloom

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

    So if I'd left my team alone and made no transfers, I'd be 25 points better off this GW 🙄

  6. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    The battle for relegation and championship just became more interesting. Arsenal now within 2 points of City. Leicester out of the bottom 3. Leeds, Wolves and Forest all with 9 points.

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

    Getting Castagne in for James a few weeks ago has saved my season. 20 points from him and Ward feels dirty. Andreas on bench annoying though.

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

    Spurs 4-1 Newcastle

    Kane 2
    Son 2
    Joelinton

    My prediction

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      0-2 NEW unfortunately, none can stop Almiron

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

        Almiron gets the assist for the Joelinton goal

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Just be prepared mate, just be prepared

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

            I’m hyped for this one, which usually means one thing…

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

      Trippier goal too

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

      Spurs scoring 4 goals. Hmmmm
      Newcastle conceding 4. Double hmmmm

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

      1-1. Kane OG from Trippier set piece. Also Pope og, just throwing the ball in the net. Heard it from here first.

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

        Who gets Pope OG assist?

    5. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      0-0

  9. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Where’s wards 6 saves for 6 shots on target?

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

      Wondering that myself....it was there and then it was gone.

  10. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    26 points on bench - ward Andreas and neco
    3 sold players on wc scored - mitro, Trossard etc

  11. Forgetmeknot
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else with zero returns (apart from Haaland?). Second time this season no less argh

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

      I have 3 returns but no Haaland

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

      o/

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

      Same all the returns are on my bench (26 points) which is more than my entire team if you remove haaland

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

      Haaland and Mitro … the rest are machine code

    5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Here. On WC.

    6. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I played ward and andreas so more then content with that!

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

      Yep

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

    How I wish I missed this deadline. I'd have like 30 points more and 2FT. Insane gameweek really...

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same here ... dead teams to win!

  13. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    My bench us Deano, Bailey, Chillwell, Neco

    1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Did you benchboost?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sadly no

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

      Was an obvious bench boost, poor from you!

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

        I’m not so sure about that.
        Neco & Deano v Liverpool. Chilwell v Utd & Bailey done nothing for weeks.
        I doubt I’d have done a BB

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Haha you got caught

  14. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ward, Andreas and Neco Williams sitting on my bench laughing at me

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

      Add Bailey for me to that

  15. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This gw could not have gone any better for me & it’s still not over but what I enjoyed doing most this gw was bringing in Saka & binning after the injury news for Bernardo (-4)

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

    Another goal for Mitrovic but again no bonus.

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He may have nabbed one.

    2. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He did well, keeps ticking over and almost had an assist which would have led to a haul

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

    I picked Justin on wc gw9. I would have gotten ~10p more from Castagne for 0.1 more.

    It was a close call between them but I thought Castagne is injury prone and that they are equally attacking. Neither of the reasons have been true. Justin is really not allowed to attack compared to Castagne.

    Humble brag still is that I played Justin and Ward this week. 😀

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

    Saka & Foden will explode next week and it’ll all be fine

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

      Let me cry for 6 days first

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think that how it works ... transfers a week too early ... poor WC-ers!

  19. Ingstagram
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I'm really sick of 1 pointers

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don't make any transfers, that's all

      1. Ingstagram
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Transfers always seem so tempting

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          And the variance flips against ya ... 😛

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

      *0 pointers

  20. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kane Trippier Pope to go- not sure what result I want particularly with Ward’s 8 points staring at me on bench. My nearest rival also has Kane so probably Pope penalty save and clean sheet for Newcastle

  21. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Of course I had Castagne & Andreas on the bench

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Andreas probably outscored most people's entire midfield. I played Sinisterra Foden Salah Zaha.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Andreas fair enough, but that is a no brainer against most midfield picks.

      But why would you not play a defender who is playing Wolves? If you own a Leicester defender at a good price and don't pick him against a team that never scores, why have him?

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I get you, it was a choice between him & Saliba and ended up with the latter because I played Ward and didn’t go for the double up.

        1. Gubby-Allen
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Oh that makes more sense. You get a lot of points from Ward then. Although 2 less than it was at 0-3

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

    10 points from Cancelo, Gomez, Foden, Zaha, Saka, Martinelli, Firmino ... 10 points from Andreas on my bench 🙂

    44 with just Kane to go, only Sir Harold can save my game week ...

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

      44! Stop boasting!

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

    Every Gameweek

    Misery

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

      relatable lol

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Could you flesh it out into a Haiku?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That game we all play
        Wasted Saturdays and Sundays
        Pain and misery

  24. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Sinisterra for Martinelli on GW9 WC is the worst decision I've made since buying a mini disc player in 2004 just as iPods were taking off.

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

    Pre WC MF
    Salah Zaha Maddison Andreas
    Would have scored 18 points

    Post WC MF
    Salah Foden Saka Martinelli
    6 points

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's unlucky but they are not bad moves and Foden and Martinelli will average out.

      The only curious one was maybe taking out Maddison before Wolves.

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

        Took Maddison out to get Foden
        Kept Andreas but benched him
        Took out KDB for the blank so can add that as well to assess the impact

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      😆 We all are ... we all ...

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

        Yes lol
        The herd!

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

    Have Mount Saka and Foden

    And the only midfielder who returned was Gordon lol

    Andreas 2nd on my bench

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

      Bailey first on my bench and Neco second.

      1. Ingstagram
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ward Andreas and Neco on my bench

  27. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah to KdB, for a hit?

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

      Not for a hit

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nah. Ward 11 pointer on Saturday.

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

    I don't want to wish injury on any player but I would take a pulled hammy for Almiron during warm-up

  29. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    In four years I’ve never once thought of not bothering for a week no matter how bad it got - until now. This season is just indescribably excruciating.

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

      Feel your pain … 4 greens followed by three reds … such an up and down season …

  30. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Castagne over for last three, love that, at least one good pick
