Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at 16:30 BST on Sunday, as Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United go head-to-head.

Spurs are looking to get back on track after losing 2-0 to Manchester United on Wednesday, while the visitors are one of the Premier League’s form sides and arrive in the capital full of confidence.

As for the team news, Antonio Conte makes five changes to his starting XI, with wing-backs Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic – who went into Gameweek 13 off the back of two successive starts – among those dropping out.

Cristian Romero, Ben Davies and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg also make way, with Davinson Sanchez, Clement Lenglet, Emerson Royal, Ryan Sessegnon and Oliver Skipp coming in.

Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski remain sidelined.

For Newcastle, it’s just the one change as Joe Willock replaces Jacob Murphy, who is a substitute.


GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Lenglet, Royal, Bentancur, Bissouma, Skipp, Sessegnon, Son, Kane

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Tanganga, Davies, Spence, Perisic, White, Gil, Moura

    Bailey, Almiron, Andreas putting the premium mids to shame this week

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

    almiron is catching my attention

  4. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lovely, this means Perisic back for Bournemouth after the Sess howler

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

      That ain't on Sess, hospital pass.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He's having a terrible game. Wouldn't be surprised if Perisic comes on at HT

  5. Feloh

    Conte plays boring football. Was the easiest game of the season for Man United when we played them.

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

      They are rancid!

      Won't take too many bad results for their fans to turn.

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

        Conte usually turns first!

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

      Last season in the last third they were really good, I'm not sure how they can be so poor in comparison now. They were horrendous against ManUtd. Another few bad results and I wonder if a Conte implosion will be imminent

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

    Salah to Almiron

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

      Yep

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

    C'mon Almiron grab another

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

    Any other Wilson owners still seeing just 1pt for him currently on the FPL website?

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

      Patience

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

      Yes - just the same

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

    Dier on 1 bp!

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

      Such a flawed bps system as always

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

    We just need Jack Grealish to tell the England dressing room before the first game they've had an amazing season. Then England will win the World Cup

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

      Via Skype I hope.

  11. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Conte Mourinho, Nuno, Simeone etc are history. Football has moved on.

  12. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Time to go 5 in midfield and start Almiron & Pereira every week

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

    Howe masterclass so far. He knew Lloris would return to his average self today.

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

    A couple more transfer windows and Newcastle are going to be serious contenders.

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

      Its Spurs. They’re miles off City and Arsenal ; the league is poor this year.

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

        I'm not talking about Spurs and Newcastle drew with City last time they played.

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

    Newcastle 2 goals from 0.07G what the heck, Spurs xG over 0.7 and nowt.

    Weird week!

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

      Look above.

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

    37 points on bench, 35 on pitch haha

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

      am not checking my points this week lol, am planning for GW14 already

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wish I had faith in Newcastle over Spurs! Trippier on my bench, Doherty in my XI… this only ends one way.

    But honestly kudos to Eddie Howe and the job he and Newcastle are doing this season.

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

      What's your current OR. I've moved from 22k to 200k in a space of 3 weeks.

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

    Thank goodness Conte didn’t join United.

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

      This. I remember so many MU fans crying over him.

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

        Me too! Couldn’t believe it. Imagine watching this football every week.

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

          Would have fallen asleep.

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        MU fans crying? I thought they just worshipped women beaters and rapists?

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I bet he feels the same.

  19. DMP
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mourinho operated some miracles with those United and Spurs teams.

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

      And still he's looked down upon in England. Not denying his methods and style are exactly always pleasing, but he got that 2nd place finish with ManUtd is still beyond my comprehension. Also robbed of the League Cup final he got Spurs to too

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

        "And still he's looked down upon in England"
        Why single out England ? I think you'll find that he's upset people everywhere he's been for balance. FYI I think he is under appreciated by many .

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

          He s still loved in Oporto, Milan and Madrid tough ..

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

            Not by everyone!

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

          He's still quite well appreciated in Italy and Madrid for sure

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

    Not sure whose been more disappointing, Salah or Son?

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

      We’ll know when they play.

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    LOL Miggy has more points than Salah 🙂

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

      Over the season?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        After 13 games says it all!

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

    Although my FPL GW has been terrible the football today has been a very good watch.

  23. Camzy

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

        Nope.

        1. Jarnathan

    So are we all selling Salah?

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

      Before LEE?

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

        We said that about forest (I also own and have no intention to sell him)

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

      Never bought him x

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not before Leeds

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

      Gotta keep vs Leeds

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

      No we are captaining him

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No, Leicester gave up 20 chances today & Haulands setting records

    6. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My captain against Leeds

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No chance without some key players returning to midfield.

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

          Thiago will be back so will Nunez.

  26. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Conte football is easy to buy into when you’re going for the Title. This Spurs side, not so much...

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

      Highly overrated manager

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        A move back to Juve suits all parties

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

      Conte can’t build a team. He also hates competition and runs away when he’s not winning.

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He knows they’ve got zero chance of winning the title over City and Conte only manages teams to win leagues.

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

          He came to Spurs to win a cup and end their trophy drought, looking like a genius. Which explains only the 18 month contract he had. He’s a very good manager but he’s incapable of actually building a team. His signings this summer, for a CL side, were a bit odd to say the least.

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

    Let's go Carlos sainz

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

      Let's goo! My turbo driver...

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

        Well played, I've left it on Charles all season

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

      Bit early for that

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

        Pre-emptive celebs

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

    I don't get it

    Spurs didn't look like this last season With Conte

    Neither did 2017Chelsea, yh?

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

      They dont have a creative midfielder. Not replacing Eriksen is their undoing. With Son and Kane, they could have scored loads with creativity in the middle of the park.

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

        And for Chelsea that was??

        Matic??

        Cos I'm not sure I remember Fabregas always getting starts

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

      Conte has a limited shelf life at every club he manages although the rot doesn't usually set in for another season yet.

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

    How did Brentford lose by a huge score margin? Were they bad? Couldn't even score a single goal as well.

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

      Villa looked a different side. I think the intensity and desire took Brentford by surprise and they never recovered. Great goals by Villa too

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

      I'm hoping that game serves as an advertisement to potential managers who'll see the teams potential

    Wait - Tottenham are at home?
