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. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Big miss you mean?

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

        Yeah, big miss. Actually hit it straight at the keeper.

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

      to suspension?

  3. Orion
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jesus playing?

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

    Jesus is unplayable.

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Shame he gets very little in the way of points.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn’t score in 45 mins of football against one of the worst teams in the league, unplayable

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

    Conflicting reports about Jesus...

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

      ‘‘Twas ever thus

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

      Certainly looking lively. Not so deadly front of goal though

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

    Think I've been quite unlucky not to get many Odegaard returns since buying him in GW4. Hopefully a haul is coming soon

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

      had him for a while last yr, always looked rlly good but never got me any pts

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

        Same, but he looks to be more on the final ball/shooting this season

  7. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why isn't Maddison playing?

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

      He is

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

    Is Toney usually play this deep?

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Let me ask his missus

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

        Bruh

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

    Mitro might not come out for the 2nd half...

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

      Why

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Injured?

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

        He's just trolling, unfortunately.

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

      Same story every week 😉

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

      Pereira OOP!

  10. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saka either gets subbed early or gets red card.

    What a great pick

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

      🙁

  11. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ahh man that half was frustrating as a Jesus owner, he could have had a brace

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

      Aren't you already used to it?!?

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

      That half was frustrating as a Martinelli, Saka, Raya and Toney owner and as a non Mitrovic, Pereira or Ward owner/player

  12. Tinslinger
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Cancelo, Saka and Nunez in for -8
    All collectively scoring less than my second sub Bailey

  13. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    29 points this weekend so far, absolute disaster.

    I decided to captain Salah instead of Haaland. I've rage removed Salah from my squad in favour of KDB.

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

      35-4 with Trippier to go and C Haaland here 🙁

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

      Beats me!

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’m wishing I’d done that in my wildcard instead of getting foden.

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Andreas continues to get assists and Bailey starts with a spark.

    Points for some?!

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah Andreas filling in for Darwin here

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

      Andreas should be hauling by now

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

    EIGHT shots on target for Villa in one half, wtf

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Non Gerrard effect

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

        Tbf they had many shots in the Chelsea game kepa with some great saves

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

      They've been saving them up 😀

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

      They are obviously trying now.

      I don't know how fans are happy with this. If it was my team I would be more pissed off that they have not given a toss for a month rather than them winning a game.

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

        dropped under-performing players (Ramsey/McGinn), starting players in their correct position (Buendia), and playing an actual DM (donk) also helping

        had 8 shots on target v Chelea last week just very different outcome at HT in eahc game

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

    Started Almiron over Perriera ffs

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah those 3 points will kill you

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

        They might I am a touchy guy

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

      almiron hasnt even played yet

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

        First law of fpl- If you had to decide between benching 1 out of 2 players in a gw and the bench players gets a return the on field player has to blank.

  17. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    12.8m salah to 4.7 Bailey v tempting

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

      Go for 4.6 Bailey instead..

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Wow 4.6 could be bargain

    2. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I don't trust Villa, but I definitely don't trust the overrated trash that is Salah at the moment, so I'd say go for it.

  18. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Sounds a lot with - 8 but the names and fixtures says good moves. I took out Trossard and Toney, Foden and Scam in. Andreas second sub with Nunez ni show. CASTAGNE first sub.

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You do realise no one cares

      That’s sounds mean but it’s true

      Sorry for responding in this way to you but I’ve read a hundred similar posts on here so it’s directed at everyone

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I responded to a guy that took a minus 8 and i just shown him this happens to all of us.
        Example of that transfers does not need to be bad just because the results not in your way.
        Maybe try to interprete posts before you post is a place to start. Not directed at you, but a lot of posts is like this one-)

        This is fantasy football forum where people should feel free discuss their lows & highs.

  19. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Two of my changes on my wildcard were Bailey and Mitro out for Toney and Foden. So that’s going well…

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No it isn’t

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

      Wolves are a terrible attacking side, hoping they get lucky and nick one

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Did you see Traore’s attempted stepovers? Slow motion stuff.

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

      They are toothless unfortunately.

  21. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

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

    thinking of finally getting Bailey again. He was my punt in the beginning of the season.

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

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

        I don't think fixtures do matter this season

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

    So much Arsenal hate on here.

    Suggesting we get all VAR decisions, Saka is diving, Partey is a criminal, White is rubbish etc.

    Arsenal are big time again, and playing the best football in the league.

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

        I've seen it a fair few times now, I'm still quite ignorant of the whole situation after reading conflicting stuff over the summer about him (first read reports from people supposedly close to the club saying he was sent away from training camp, then a day later he's playing in a friendly, etc.). Still not really sure what was alleged

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Still got two cases hanging over his head, one was dropped. Disgusting behaviour by his club playing him

          1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            On a technicality

              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Has he been arrested?

              1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yes he was, released pending investigations

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

      As a neutral I’d like to see them win the league, be a nice change from the usual teams winning it.

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      3/4 ain't bad I guess...

    8. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not Arsenal their followers. You have these strange support forums. I for one am enjoying their football.

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

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’m just disappointed I haven’t been able to watch a AFTV video for a while

        1. Josh.E
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          how is Robbie hating his own team winning? maybe you should watch again, you're assuming

          1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 5 Years

            70% of people watch AFTV for the bants and to laugh at their supporters.. as I said his pocket is hating this, what he feels is not irrelevant and has nothing to do with his bank balance

    I wildcarded this week and wanted to go Darwin but switched to Firmino after early team news.

    Should I do Firmino -> Darwin with my FT this week or is it a waste?

      Wait for more news on Darwin during the week

      Why the desperation for Pool players?

        Darwin's potential and just playing the fixtures really

      There won't be much in it for a wildcard three GW's before another, but there seem better options that Firmino, albeit the round on 12th Nov could be good for them.

      Did the same, honestly I only got in Liverpool players at the very most with the first 2 games in mind and against my better judgement. Honestly think I'm just going to stick to my original plan and move both Robbo and Firmino out in GW15 and will probably bench them this week. If they can't score against Forest then I have no hope against Leeds

    FPL is such a strange thing, both hilarious and tragic at the same time.

    Such an odd game.

    Maddison playing for a place in my team next week.

    Him or Zaha are for the chop.
