Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes on Monday, with West Ham United v Bournemouth getting underway at 20:00 BST.

The Hammers were beaten by Liverpool last time out but have won two league matches in a row at home, while the visitors’ unbeaten run under Gary O’Neil came to an end against Southampton in Gameweek 12.

David Moyes makes just one change for West Ham, as Said Benrahma comes in for Pablo Fornals, who drops to the bench.

That means Gianluca Scamacca starts his fifth consecutive league match, with Michail Antonio potentially held back for Europa Conference League duty on Thursday.

However, Craig Dawson and Maxwel Cornet both miss out, while the game also comes too soon for Lucas Paqueta.

As for Bournemouth, they have no fresh injury concerns and are unchanged from the side that were beaten 1-0 by Southampton.

Dominic Solanke, owned by 3.6% of managers, leads the line hoping to add to his tally of six attacking returns (two goals, four assists).

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Downes, Benrahma, Scamacca

Subs: Areola, Randolph, Coufal, Ogbonna, Emerson, Lanzini, Coventry, Antonio, Fornals

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Fredericks, Mepham, Senesi, Smith, Lerma, Cook, Christie, Billing, Tavernier, Solanke

Subs: Travers, Stacey, Zemura, Stephens, Rothwell, Stanislas, Pearson, Moore, Anthony

      Me too but I am predicting a goal and an assist

        You've turned your hand at predicting the future now? A man of many talents!!

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          The sky is the limit my friend! You'd think with this amazing talent I would be higher than 2.5 million in the OR wouldn't you?

            Not doing much better- 1.8m

  2. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Watching Creswell for 4/5 Def position

  3. Dragon Arcana
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Salah and Firmino to Saka and Kane for a hit?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good if you expect Leeds to keep it tight!

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It’s a no from me Jeff.

  4. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Maddison Saka Foden
    B) Bowen (pending tonight's game) Saka Foden

    I can change either Zaha or Maddison to Saka tonight and then do the other next week. Any opinions/advice most welcome!

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maddison vs city is a strong chance of a blank so I'd get rid of him first

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I was thinking this but City have not looked as on form (by their own high standards) as of late and Leicester seem to be picking up. I honestly hate this game at times

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I would keep Leicester attack vs City. Leicester will score.

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Look at the 11th overall ranked team.

    Look at his GW13 team, then at his BGW12 team and back at his GW13 team...

    This game is ridiculous!

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He benched Saka, Cancelo and Saliba. Genius.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Didn’t even bother to change captain

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

      Did they miss the deadline or was it planned?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He changed his players around in his starting XI at some stage after the BGW12 deadline.

        At that time, he decided to keep Neco in over Cancelo 😀

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Because Brighton were more likely to score than Liverpool presumably (or maybe for Neco’s superior goal scoring). It’s a crazy world

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

          Yes, moving them around to prove (and claim) that it was planned, not because of missed deadline.

          Having Ward instead of Pope in GW12,13 would have put him 3rd in the ranks. Poor decision. 🙂

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is a good example of how we all need to take the game less seriously and have a laugh

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe triple cap on Harrison Reed next week is not such a bad idea

  6. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the best mid priced forward until gw16?

    A) Dcl
    B) Wilson
    C) Toney
    D) Mitrovic
    E) Scamacca
    F) Jesus
    G) other

    Thank you

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

      C. Toney

      Of them, only Toney and Jesus play against Wolves and Forest. But both on 4 yellows. Toney on penalties puts him ahead of Jesus.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Interesting thanks

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      E imo

  7. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mount vs Zaha to Almiron?

  8. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    Bowen Brace, please and thank you.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bowen will blank, guarantee it

  9. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Villa have agreed terms with Unai Emery

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No!

      Have you any proof - links to news feed ?

      1. ritzyd
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        On sky sports news, seems done

      2. BeaversWithAttitude

        The WHU v. BOU commentator said so at the start of the match.

      Good ebening!

      1. Monklane
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        First of all, good ebening.

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I want a video where the camera zooms in on him rushing past oceans, fish, birds, trees, fog from afar and he turns around and says that and then it cuts to black.

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Great imagination, make it happen!

  10. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    6 shots in the box attempted by Gabriel Martinelli (£6.9m) over the last six matches, a tally inferior to 23 other FPL midfielders.

    Why can't people see that he is turning into a bad pick?

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We are just not as intelligent as you would be my theory.

    2. gers23
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A nailed on Arsenal attacker for that price will never be a bad pick imo.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I am ready for his 15 pter, suit yourself

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You’re just looking at those figures and not watching the matches. His runs were incredible yesterday, playing with a lot of confidence.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Runs are not goals or assists

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          That is correct.

          Nor are shots in the box a true reflection of overall performance

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        While I agree, a lot/most of his good runs against Southampton came were from deep and/or wide positions that ended with him still being outside the box. In terms of his penetration and how it can help Arsenal I don't think anyone will disagree, but it's about his FPL potential. It can be much like Jesus in a way, looks excellent on and off the ball and so important to how Arsenal play, but he's only scored over 8pts once

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Trying not to overthink it. Winger for less than 7m and nailed playing for the team top of the table and in the top 6 mids for points scored.

        2. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Plus FPL managers scared if transferred out the lost in value if trying to get him back if purchased at the beginning - Possible keep until WC transfer window to decide/assess

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      His assist potential has gone up though. Look at the whole picture.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Minutes per chance created has been average at best over the last 6 gameweeks

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      We can't all be virgins

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        But we can be heroes ... Just for one day

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Well how about Bowen takes that mantel tonight please?

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Or takes over the mantlepiece as Phil Neville would say!

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you prioritize as a third city player?

    Cancelo for a hit and keep Salah

    De Bruyne as a Salah replacement and have Dallot as the defender in play with no hit

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Option B means Cucurella to Dallot and next GW Salah to KDB

      Option A means Cancelo now for a hit most probably since I don’t have a decent defender this GW

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Option A

  12. Kingy109
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pickford (Begovic)
    Trent Trippier Gabriel (Guehi Neco)
    Salah Foden Martinelli Zaha (Andreas)
    Haaland Toney Mitrovic

    Easy hold this week right?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Are you worried that you don’t have Cancelo?

    2. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, a bit. But it would be for Trent who is at home to Leeds and sad though this makes me that could be a haul.
      And I'm not sure who the best 3 City are between Haaland, Foden, Cancelo and De Bruyne.

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Darwin is on -52.9 with 3red downward arrows. Any chance he drops before deadline? I’m .1 short of him

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If he keeps the flag until he plays, maybe. But I'd expect him to involved in some form vs Ajax.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah fair one

  14. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which def would you have until WC apart from Cancelo and Trippier?

    Thinking White but not sure about his GW15, anyway could also play Castagne that week. Other options worth considering?

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Have 6.8 top

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gabriel?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, been also thinking about him but kinda like White heat map and stats as RB

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Big Virg

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Real option?

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Should have scored 3 the weekend

    4. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Gabriel or Coady

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Been considering Myko from Eve

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

      Everton defenders.

      Tarkowski or Patterson.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not Mykolenko?

    6. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      White it is. But don't buy yet so I can buy with today's price on Friday.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sure, after Europe games

  15. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would u keep Martinelli for GW16 or switch to Rashford? I can get him back in 17 after the world cup but also could stick with a United attacker since their fixtures are so good then. I'll still own Saka.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      See how they’re going come gw16. I was looking at something similar myself

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why is Martinelli suddenly the one to transfer put? Thought he would be my and most other’s target to bring in this week

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I own and am delighted to have. I think in gw16 as a punt for one gw before the free transfers you could try something different but holding for Wolves is a good bet too

        2. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I want Rashford vs Fulham

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            But that’s not until GW 16?

            1. Paqueta Rice

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

    Sorry if I’ve missed it but has there been an article recently on teams with best fixtures up to WC?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure but Geoff’s teaching us how to play Soare.

  19. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I honestly dont understand why the officials are still getting it wrong in relation to putting the flag up. Several examples ive seen recently where the linesman is putting the flag up late and replays showed it was a tight call.

    To me its straight forward. If it's clear that the attacker is well offside the linesman should put the flag up straight away rather than delaying it.

    If the linesman is unsure as its tight, keep the flag down and let play run. If a goal results, it will reviewed by VAR anyway and if it was offside it can be ruled out.
