In what is becoming quite a common event, there’s a later-than-late Premier League game to round off Saturday’s Gameweek 13 action.

It’s Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham, which gets underway at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Spurs have had a UEFA Champions League game since the north London derby but compared to Gameweek 12, Thomas Frank makes four changes.

One is enforced as Cristian Romero is suspended.

Djed Spence, Rodrigo Bentancur and Wilson Odobert meanwhile drop to the bench.

Pedro Porro, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Randal Kolo Muani are back in the Premier League XI.

Kolo Muani is again accompanied in the line-up by Richarlison; the two combined for three goals against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

There’s just one Fulham change from the side that beat Sunderland a week ago.

It comes on the left flank, with Samuel Chukwueze rewarded for his impressive Gameweek 12 substitute appearance with a start.

Kevin makes way, while Sasa Lukic is back on the bench after a ban.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Udogie, Joao Palhinha, Gray, Kudus, Bergvall, Richarlison, Kolo Muani. 

Subs: Kinsky, Simons, Tel, Johnson, Spence, Odobert, Sarr, Bentancur, Davies.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Iwobi, Berge, Wilson, King, Chukwueze, Jimenez. 

Subs: Lecomte, Cairney, Traore, Cuenca, Kusi-Asare, Lukic, Castagne, Kevin, Smith Rowe.

    We can save the Afcon transfers, right?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Yes

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Where was this help when FPL used to be difficult?

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Nope, we have to use one every week. They won't gone immediately, so yes.

      What I mean is that we can save 4/5.

  2. HD7

    Sold Kudus to Gakpo last GW for a hit... oh well

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      only a goal, if Gakpo get a return it will only be a few points anyway

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 6 days ago

        You were right:)

  3. FPL Sanky

    LIV 13th in the table? How is Slot still not sacked

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Amorim says hi

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Who won PL last season?

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        This is not 2024 anymore

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          It is 2025

          Which is literally the same year they won the league lol

          Only 4pts off Champions League, could just be a blip like Man City had last season.

  4. Magic Zico

    People captaining Haaland GW14 midweek?

    1. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Ordinarily I'd switch to Salah vs Sunderland, but sadly, I'm a chicken, so i'm keeping it on Haaland even if city's away form is poor. Hoping he has a bounceback performance

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      I think the strategy is either cappo him in all games, or never at all. No inbetween

      1. Bigbars
        • 15 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        I agree, you take the rough with the smooth, unless there is a sure fire alternative, which right now, there isnt. I'm thankful I used my TC vs Burnley so no longer need to worry about it. But it could have easily been a different outcome, that is the beauty of the game.

        1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Maybe Arsenal in a couple of upcoming fixtures. But Haaland can get 1 or 2 in any game. Xg backs that up

  5. Manani
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    would you spend a FT on defence?

    Pope Dub
    Timber OReilly VVD Mukiele Senesi

    worry is if OReilly rotated I will have to play Mukiele

    1. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      I wouldnt, You're ok with that defensive set up in my eyes. Liverpool could easily be turned over, Burnley play better at home, Newcastle play better at home if Pope is back

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Would be a handy excuse to have to do Senesi to Munoz

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        unfortuantely 0m ITB, so it will be Richards if I do it

      2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Ha Ha Land - surely the name, rather than Haa Lala Land. Did someone else have Ha Ha Land already as a username?

        1. Punned It
          • 1 Year
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Doesn't roll even nearly as well off the tongue.

          1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
            • 7 Years
            4 months, 7 days ago

            Don't write any newspaper headlines anytime soon

            1. Punned It
              • 1 Year
              4 months, 7 days ago

              Lala rolls. Ha ha forces a pause. But hey, if your idea of poetry is newspaper headlines.

              1. Haa-lala-land
                • 5 Years
                4 months, 7 days ago

                I think the suggestion of newspaper headlines, was only a play on your own username.
                Also, the "haa" and the first "la" rhyme, so thats nice too.

                1. Punned It
                  • 1 Year
                  4 months, 7 days ago

                  Could be. Oh, I'm Norwegian, so I simply can't agree to it rhyming. But it still has a lovely ring to it.

                  1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
                    • 7 Years
                    4 months, 7 days ago

                    Lads all in good spirits. Banter is thin on this site. Both good usernames. My currrent fpl team name is 'Everybody Wirtz', but I prefer my team name last season 'She's an Eze Lover' because who doesn't love Phil Collins.

                    1. Punned It
                      • 1 Year
                      4 months, 7 days ago

                      Oh, I know my username is rubbish, no worries. I prefer REM!

        2. Haa-lala-land
          • 5 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Just went straight to this, which i prefer.
          I liked the Lala bit.

          1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
            • 7 Years
            4 months, 7 days ago

            Fair enough. Still a good name

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Munoz could get suspended for that game lol

  6. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Does this defence need a transfer this week? Thanks

    Vvd burn Richards (rodon senesi)

    Not convinced burn is nailed.....

    A.....burn to oreilly
    B....senesi to oreilly.
    C....hold
    D....another defensive transfer

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      i think it is possible RAN will play midweek instead

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Bournmouth are done. Bank the Senesi gains and move on

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Oreilly feels young fit and dynamic and capable of playing 3 games a week....but its pep roulette

        You are prob right re senesi . Thanks

        1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          My defence (is now) O'reily, Timber, Keane, Nice Williams and Munoz (essential). I think only one premium in there. It's easu enough to have good cover

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            4 months, 7 days ago

            Im just not sure how nailed burn is who I own

            If he is rotation risk then my defence is not as strong as id line

            Currently

            Raya
            Vvd burn senesi Richards rodon

            1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
              • 7 Years
              4 months, 7 days ago

              If you have no wc I would get rid of them.in this order:

              Vvd (too pricey for curremt returns)
              Senesi (Bournmouth are done)
              Burn (may even keep, last of the three).

  7. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Hmm, setting up my bus team and all my attackers have reasonable fixtures. Bench one? Caicedo?

    A) Caicedo (lee)
    B) Semenyo (eve)
    C) Rice (BRE)
    D) Mbeumo (WHU)
    E) B.Fernandes (WHU)
    F) Woltemade (TOT)
    G) Mateta (bur)
    [Haaland (ful)]

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      yeah

    2. Punned It
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Yes.

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      thanks

  8. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Wow, no cleans today.
    Suspect we're in for no goals from my attackers tomorrow either

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Was kinda getting tired of defender hauls this season anyway.

  9. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Need something from Anderson tomorrow... KDH benched on FH and my alternative pick of Kudos grabbing a return.

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    So Evanilson robbed Semenyo of an assist?

    1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Have you looked at Sedoneso xg and xa since he no longer plays out of position?

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Need a Pundit of Punts score check post. Literally the entire FH sheep/gang and CC overlords will have scored 43. All they can do is collectively pick one unique team. Embarrassing really.

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Why the bitterness towards free hitters? It's kind of a legitimate play in this game

      Genuine question

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        I like to look at teams on Twitter just to see different hauls. Everyone is on the same score. Made me think if this game ever gave unlimited transfers every week, it would all look the same.

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Seek help, buddy

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Thank you, buddy.

    3. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      No harm in free hitt8ng this week. I wild carded to gevrid of Bournmouth, and triple on citeh. I'd rather hold FH for Decemmber. Will be more fun

    4. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Over a million TC Haaland...do u see that as sheep mentality too?

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        One decision on one player vs 9/10 same players given a blank slate is not the same thing.

        1. Studs Up
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          I guess the cc hate is real lol

    5. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years

      He’s not gonna sh@g you mate

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Damn it, you tried this trick in the past?

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      He didn't FH so we didn't get the likes of:

      "OMG FODEN YESSSS"
      "Score check 43 with Salah, Gakpo, Rogers, Martinez, Cash to go"

    7. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      I FH and only have 39 so far. Guess I’m safe.

  12. OneTeamInBristol
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Allison
    Timber Chalobah Munoz
    Saka Sarr Mbuemo Semenyo Enzo
    Wolt Haaland
    Subd: Dub, Senesi, Rodon, Guildford

    2ft, 1.1itb
    Easy roll right? Unless Munoz gets suspended. Then ill do Senesi to Califori

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      In couple of weeks, you will be topped by to 5FT's. So I would start using FT's rather then save

    2. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      As as Califiori owner nervous about a start Vs Brentford you might find Saliba a less stressful pick!

  13. MIGHTY JOE

    How on earth did reindeer end up with bonus point

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year

      Christmas time's coming, they want to make sure they get a visit from Santa.

  14. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Grealish > Foden FT? Would leave me with this.

    Raya
    Timber, VVD, Lacroix
    Bruno, Foden, Semenyo, Gakpo
    Haaland, Thiago, Mateta

    (Duvravka, Mukiele, King, Senesi*)

    Bruno will likely become Saka at some point.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Why not?

  15. Khalico
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    2FTs, any changes required to this team?

    Raya
    VVD, Guehi, Chalobah
    Semenyo, Minteh, Gakpo, Saka, Mbeumo
    Haaland, Mateta

    Dubravka, Thiago, Senesi, Rodon

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Required, none...

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Senesi, Chalobah and Rodon though... I'd upgrade one.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          But only after all matches are played and Thiago is confirmed fit

  16. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Is TonyGivesAwesome69ers about?

    I'd rather not wait until 4am to know if Thiago is injured or not.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      What has Tony69 said or done?!?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        69 is still a nice combination of two good numbers? Or do you disagree?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Yes, he either is injured or not. Or something in between. What do you mean?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        TonyGivesAwesome69ers will know if Thiago is injured or not. He's the first to know everything important FPL wise.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          He is following the news and is and has been great to inform us first many times 🙂

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 months, 7 days ago

            However, he isn't a fortune teller, so you just have to wait the news to be published.

            1. FPL Virgin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 months, 7 days ago

              If it's been published, he'll have it.

              1. Baps Hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 months, 7 days ago

                He is probably sleeping now. That is what humans normally do. However at least I couldn't find anything worth sharing. This is the most I could find.

                "But his joy was somewhat sort-lived as he was forced out of the game late following a leg injury.

                Thiago was limping as he left the pitch, and the 24-year-old did go down the tunnel following his removal in the second minute of stoppage time. He was replaced by Keane Lewis-Potter and Brentford fans will be hoping the move was more about precaution as well as the time and state of the game."

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Thiago is slight injury doubt for next week. He should play vs Arsenal anyway, so he certainly is now in "don't buy, don't sell category". That's prolly all relevant info that is going to be available before next dl.

  17. DBry
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Pick two mids, long term, from

      Bruno G, Anderson, Minteh?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Depends on what you can do with the cash. 3 or 2

        1. DBry
            4 months, 7 days ago

            The million would be on Mbeumo to Bruno F
            And likely vvd to timber

      2. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Senesi to who?

        Oreily
        Burn

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          O from me

        2. OneTeamInBristol
          • 2 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Im considering Hall

        3. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Perhaps you can stretch to calafiori, that's what I'm looking at

      3. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Time for Pope to go?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Basically yes, but I bought him at 5.1 and he is 5.2 atm. He is on the chopping list, but Senesi for example got his 5th YC, and that leaves me to start with Andersen vs MCI or Esteve vs CP. Far away from optimal.

        Do we think Woltemade starts the next 2? Considering a Thiago/Wolt/Thiago hokey cokey for TOT/BUR/LEE/wol.

          For sure, why wouldn’t he? I don’t think Wissa is anywhere near returning yet.
          Leas to hope so anyway, I own Wolt and looking forward to keeping him for these next batch of games.

        Brighton fans.....is Verbruggen a good option in goals?
        Nice few games coming up and rotates well with Dubravka
