With no lunchtime match, Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway with a trio of 3pm GMT kick-offs:

TEAM NEWS

After making 10 changes for the midweek defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, Pep Guardiola mostly turns back to the players he sent out at Newcastle United last Saturday.

There’s one alteration, however: Tijjani Reijnders comes in for Rayan Cherki.

Nico O’Reilly, Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden are back in the team after their UEFA Champions League breathers.

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has swung the axe, Brian Park-style. 

He’s made five changes from Gameweek 12, although two of them are enforced thanks to injuries sustained by Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach.

Gabriel Gudmundsson, Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor drop to the bench as Daniel James, Ao Tanaka, James Justin, Wilfried Gnonto and Ilia Gruev get promotions to the starting XI.

At the Stadium of Light, the big news is the return to fitness of Antoine Semenyo.

Adam Smith and Amine Adli also get recalls as Lewis Cook, Junior Kroupi and David Brooks make way.

As for the hosts, another semi-popular Fantasy option, Omar Alderete, is handed a first start since Gameweek 8.

Chemsdine Talbi gets his chance, too, as Lutsharel Geertruida and Trai Hume drop to the bench.

Finally, in west London, there are two changes apiece.

Aaron Hickey and Mathias Jensen replace Kristoffer Ajer and Yehor Yarmoliuk for Brentford.

Burnley boss Scott Parker prefers Lyle Foster and Hannibal Mejbri to Lesley Ugochukwu and Jaidon Anthony.

        • 13 Years
        3 months, 6 days ago

        Never know with them. I’ve thought they’d be a threat last season as well but reverted to norm then too.

  10. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 6 days ago

    BASICALLY, stop Haaland and you stop City. Leeds the better team today. City absolute trash because they're fruitless when they can't get the ball to Haaland. Doku is the worst winger in the EPL.

  11. FOREST FOREVER 2

    Donaruma owners the big winners there.

    At least using the FH meant I never wasted a real transfer on Doku and he’s gone next week.

  29. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 6 days ago

    Come on. Admit it. You picked Schade because of content creators. I know I did. When you see all these high ranked people going for the same player, you jist go along with it
