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. Chalobah's Witness

        everybody's favourite numberrrrr

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

    Mitrovic is alive, for now...

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

    I've been waiting 2-3 weeks not for FPL to moderate my submitted team name "Follow the Odegourd!". Since I'm frozen from changing my current name now, it would be great for them to accept it in time for Odegaard's haul in this second half.

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

      Ignore the 'not' 😐

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

      Maybe they're still trying to work out what the pun is.

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

        I sent them an email to explain already 😀

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

        Bound for Glory is mine favourite song!

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

          I'd like to be bound for glory, if you know what I mean

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

            Yes, you’d like to go to Perth as well!

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would “Follow the odour, god” be moderated?

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

        Someone on here pointed out that it's likely the four letters beginning with D, as it's a slur in Spanish. But it seems a very sensitive autoflagging/blocking system imo

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

          You could test by changing your team name to Odegaard's Nards

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Guy that is top of our ML team name is “Pending Moderation”. He’s keeping it like that now because he’s doing so well.

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

    Southampton are that bad Liverpool would beat them.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not that bad

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thought that about Forest

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

    My post-WC midfield of Zaha, Mount, Martinelli, and Foden delivering two fewer points than benched Nico Williams.

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

    Odegaard you really need to get a goal for me soon

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

    Lol at ref inconsistencies.... Jesus gets pulled down, no pen. H.Wilson just got dragged a couple meters in the box by one arm and fell over by Struijk, no pen.

    McTominay holds Broja, Broja throws himself down as he's just been shot. Pen.

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

      refs hate united

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

      Tf are you on

      It was a clear pen

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

        Good thing you didn't take my point from the post.... Never said it wasn't a pen. I'm pointing out the inconsistencies. Two similar situations today, no pen given.

  8. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saka vs Foden debate is settled alright

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

      Best to go without any?

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly

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

    Think it's time Southampton and Ralph to part ways. Though both parties would benefit from the split.

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

      Probably, although another manager could be relegated with that squad

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

        Probably would. Although a trip to the dunk tank mightn't be the worst thing that happened to them.

        Their squad has kind of atrophied over the last year.

  10. SamH123
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wolves 19-2 up in shots but 2-0 down in goals wow

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

    This Arsenal game has the feel of staying 0-1. Not much intensity from either side.

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

      Arsenal turn it on in spurts. Right now, both teams being a bit patient. Intensitiy will pick up, especially the final 10-15 mins

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

      0-1 or 0-2 looks likely here

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

    All the commentators bigging up Granit Xhaka, he's scored 3 goals and I think 4 is his seasons best.

    With assists could he be worth a free regular slot?

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

      At that price, for sure.

      New role this season, he's be great!

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

      To be fair, he’s not there to be a goal scorer. He’s covered the most distance of any Arsenal player so far this season I just seen. He has come on a bit

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

      Ideal around blanks and doubles, as he's benchable at that price. Tempting to go for him longer-term, but there might be better combos to consider first. Might get him in GW15 for a couple weeks

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

    Ward already on 5 saves wow

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's actually 6 but fpl towers doesn't like this it seems

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

        Yeah... Second time that's happened now. Just checked before this post, it was 6. Down to 5. It was 3 in the first half, down to 2 suddenly.

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

        FPL towers owns Raya

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

        Better stick to facts and add that sixth

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's on for a monster score, another WC failure

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

      Wolves with low Xg shots easy peesy for Wardinho

  14. meenabakery
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Danny Ward to save my game week. Never thought I'd be writing that.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I regret selling Ward on my WC.

      Never thought I'd be writing that either.

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

      Tried to tell people that Ward is a decent shot stopper and a Pl format goalie. Just need confidence

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

    Haaland early kick off and facing super Ward next week - captain blank incoming?

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

      Gandi & Ward vs Haaland, battle of the century.

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

        Gandhi*

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

        Mahatma?

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

      Fur sure

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

    Arsenal poor so far in the 2nd half

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

    Bloody hell score Wolves

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

      Will never happen. Ward haul 100%.

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

    How are Toney and Mitro looking anyone?

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

      Mitrovic looked pretty good first half. Think the injury scare before half time has affected him so far. Not doing much second half.

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

        Nice one

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

      Toney anonymous, Brentford been poor in attack genereally to now

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

    Jesus denied 1v1

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

    Pep knows. Jesus can't finish.

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

      Same issue with Mohammed...

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

    Jesus should score again.

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

    Jesus misses a good chance

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

    Villa 4-0. Lol

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

    Saka second yellow here would be nice

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

      Saliba YC would be perfect

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

    Omg Watkins

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

      Who?

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

    Watkins goal

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

    My god Fulham hates coming 1on1 with GKs. Second time this match they miss such a chance. Must be watching alot of Rashford clips.

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

    Brentford is so bad today that even Ollie scores

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

    brentford getting their pants pulled down

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

      In what sense?

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

        in every sense

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

    Watkins scoring, they're taking the piss now...

    1. popey
