With Saturday’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline following hot on the heels of Gameweek 12, we’re trying to cram in as much content as possible beforehand.

So our regular team reveals this week take the form of an ‘all-in-one’, with three of our top contributors sharing their Gameweek 13 plans and transfers in this article.

LATERISER

Three-time top 200 finisher and two-time champion of India

I’ve already used my free transfer to bring Phil Foden (£8.4m) in for Wilfried Zaha (£7.5m), having left some cash in the bank when buying Darwin Nunez (£8.8m) and Marcus Rashford (£6.6m) last week.

The calculation I made in my head when taking a hit on those is that I’d have to compromise on having another Arsenal attacker but the upside with these two players, especially Darwin, is high.

I do feel miffed with Gameweek 12, as I think I was sold short and should have gotten more points from my new recruits. Hopefully, I get my due soon enough. I am also contemplating a hit to get Ben White (£4.5m) for Adam Webster (£4.5m) as I like Arsenal’s fixtures and expect the move to pay off by Gameweek 16.

      A. You keeping Darwin in despite the fact he’s a doubt?

      1. meule
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes for now. If i go with A) Andreas will come in, or might decide before deadline to get Firmino/Mitrovic depending on lineups news

        1. The Iceman
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He’s also in my team (no WC) so holding for now and hoping for the best. He’s due a big haul soon I’m sure. Good luck 🙂

      Very similar to my wc but I cant get trips and cancelo, what's your TV?

      1. meule
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        102.9. I even got an extra 0.3 if I go with A) that i can use to upgrade iversen to ward

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Top team, its either cancelonor trips for me.

          Opting for cancelo with 2 x 4.0 def

          1. meule
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            A bit clueless about the 4.0 defenders between Toti, Zanka, Bueno... who do you have ?

            1. n14mul
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Nico obvious, and then Emerson but I'm at a loss

              1. n14mul
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Looks good. Worried about saka + Darwin being doubtful though :/

                  1. n14mul
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 8 Years
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Think saka is fine, darwin is the worry

  4. Lionac
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best GK on WC?

    1. OLB
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On a budget - Raya
      No budget issue - Allison

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raya

    3. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Raya or Kepa and bank the funds.

  5. Moneymar
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Do I get Foden in, or an Arsenal defender? Choose one.

    1. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Foden

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Foden

    3. TheAbear53
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Def

    4. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely Foden

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      arsenal def

  6. mash
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guaita
    Cancelo Trippier Dier
    Salah Foden Zaha Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Mitrovic

    Ward Williams Dunk Greenwood

    0FT, 3.8 in bank

    Bench is pretty thin, would you say either of these moves worth a -4?

    A) Dunk to TAA (bench Andreas)
    B) Greenwood to Toney

    I'm more tempted by A than B but not sure either are worth it!

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think your starting XI is good enough to wait a week and not take the hit.

      1. mash
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers!

  7. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all.

    1) Darwin owners - we holding or selling?

    2) Play Andreas or Almiron?

    1. meule
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping but a bit scared
      Almiron

    2. mash
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1) Keep, unless there's any late news in the morning
      2) Andreas

  8. Adamdashi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Auba to Toney or Jesus

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Toney.

    2. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did Kane & Andreas to Toney & Foden for free

      1. Riggs
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I did the same move for but -4 hit. IMO it's worth it. Threemium is too much sacrfice and I had Haaland and Salah alongside Kane.

        1. Adamdashi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah got Haaland and Salah, leaning towards Toney.

  9. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gave myself a benching headache.

    Play Trippier or Martinelli?

    Could bench Saliba also.

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would play Saliba and Martinelli out of the three you have listed.

    2. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, play the Arsenal guys

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

      I would bench Saliba. Benching a Trippier in hot form not ideal.

      1. McGurn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This. Logic says bench Trippier but if Spurs dont score then Tripps will get 9 plus he could score from a set piece like v Man City. I would play Trips and Martinelli

  10. Somnus
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure which way to play this:

    A) Perisic to Gabriel/White
    B) Maddison to Saka

    I would prefer Saka, but it looks like Perisic is a start/minutes risk. The challenge here is this also puts me at 3 Arsenal so blocks Saka before the World Cup....

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think with the slight doubt over Saka, A is probably the sensible move this week. Then assess again next week.

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    welcome to my team bruno

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could work out well with Ronaldo regularly not starting

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        fixtures look good too. Possibly on pens and on free kicks I will take it and see how it goes.

  12. McGurn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Final WC (i think)

    Kepa Ward
    Trippier TAA Gomez Gabriel Cancelo
    Saka Martinelli Foden Almiron Andreas
    Haaland Kane Eduardo

    0.9 ITB

    1. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would have swapped Kane to Toney / Mitro and upgrade Andreas… because Kane is not banging this season… and midfielders have higher ceiling.

      1. McGurn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I get what you say, cheers. But, I already have a benching headache so upgrading a 4.5 mid will only make it worse. I seriously considered Mitro but i am not too convinced by the fixtures and he does rely a little on pens. Tough call

    2. Indio
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      it's good, and a little different - the only thing I'm not sure about is double 'Pool in defence.

      1. McGurn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I am not sure how to interpret "a little different" haha. At 4.5 i will prob bench Gomez most weeks so only one Pool i imagine

        1. Indio
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Meant it in a good way - a little off template. Good luck!

          1. McGurn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate, you too!

  13. toonstar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For the next 4 GW's who we going for?

    A) Bowen
    B) Foden
    C) Maddison

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have none of those so 0 for me

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I also have none of those so 0 for me

    2. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Foden

    3. abaalan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Foden obvious choice, but think Bowen could do really well with those fixtures

    4. Indio
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Foden from those three.

  14. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mount to saka yeh or neh?

    Been any update on saka after going off in Europa?

    1. Indio
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do the move if for free.

    2. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until deadline for any update on Saka’s flagging before doing your move..

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, even for a hit

  15. Indio
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just making last calls to optimise WC team below for next few weeks - does Ward, Guehi > Guaita and Neco make sense to plug the Chelsea keeper's tougher fixtures?

    Seems a 'luxury' move but it's only 4 weeks and not sure if I'd rotate that defence off the bench?

    Kepa
    Gabriel, Cancelo, Gomez
    Saka, Salah, Martinelli, Foden
    Haaland, Mitrovich, Toney

    (Ward, Trippier, Andreas, Guehi. WC active; £0.2M itb)

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I really wouldn't waste FTs and money on those moves. Kepa's at home and Ward can cover 15 if you really want. Better to sell Kepa if you don't want him for these 4 weeks, but still a wasted FT imo

      1. Indio
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for feedback - WC active though and just for 4 weeks, so no transfers needed, and working out if that other GK combo beats the deeper bench that might not play anyway?

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Oops I didn't read the WC bit. I would go for Ward + Guaita with Neco of even cheaper fodder.

          1. Indio
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks; and good luck with your team !

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              nw good luck!

  16. Union_Jacks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland Firmino Scamacca frontline on WC?

    1. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not sold on Firmino..

  17. Basic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Playing in a draft league, who to pick for captain?

    A) Salah
    B) Foden
    C) Kane

    Cheers!

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Easy A for me, especially if Nunez out

  18. confused01
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mitro, worth keeping or not for next 2 weeks or so?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Of course, why?

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Leeds is the easiest fixture for Mitro from the next 4 so I would keep him for this gameweek. I'm on a wildcard so thinking of going for Toney over him.

    4. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Leeds and Everton, for a player who has only blanked twice this season? What do you reckon

  19. DropkickMurphys
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Shall I get Cancelo for a hit? (FT is for Foden)
    If so, sell Guehi or Dier?

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would for Dier

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best route to Foden here? He seems pretty essential now

    Ward
    Cancelo Trippier Doherty
    Salah Zaha Martinelli Rashford
    Haaland Kane Mitrovic
    Kepa Andreas Emerson Neco

    Have 2 FTs but zero ITB

    1. Indio
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm, tough if you're keeping Kane and Cancelo. Does Doherty, Rash and Mitro to White, Foden and xxx (-4) get you a playing striker?

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Id be tempted to downgrade Kane and sell Andreas or Rashford for Foden.

  21. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Andreas or Tripp

    1. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. Andreas has the better fixture, but Tripps has more upside through set pieces and in the unlikely event of a CS he will get 9. I am in same boat and went Tripps, but who knows.

    2. Indio
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trips!

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Got to trust Tripps. He has only blanked 2 games out of 12. That's mad!

  22. Lignja
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start 2 out of this 4, atleast one defender

    A. Andreas
    B. Almiron
    C. Trippier
    D. Doherty

  23. klopptimusprime
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Trossard or Andreas

  24. fc_skrald
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Doherty or Trippier?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo, TAA, Doherty
    Foden, Salah, Martinelli, Mount, Zaha
    Mitrovic, Toney

    Trippier, Dunk, Archer

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen or KDB c?

    I am leaning towards Bowen v that shaky Bournemouth defence. Brighton don't usually get hammered

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Huge cahones to caprain Bowen. BOU aren’t whipping boys anymore and WHU simply do not score enough

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        captain*

    2. Magical
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Captaining Bowen is a very brave call… however, I do have VC on him this GW..

  26. Mork calling Orson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather;
    A) Ben White - sou NFO che wol
    B) Joe Gomez - nfo LEE tot SOU

    Have favoured White all week, but now considering Gomez but is he nailed on starter ?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      White

  27. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen nowhere near a price rise. I thought he would be closer!

  28. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    which GK to play?

    a. Kepa v Man U

    b. Ward v WOL

    cheers

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Its a great team for this week so A. Also, if in doubt, do nothing in this game.

        I would qualify my comment by asking what are your Salah and Foden plans. If planning a move anyway then then this week could be a good time. But if not, or not sure, then dont.

      If you are willing to go -4, then I would have swapped Kane & Andreas to Foden & a striker

        Ha, you also advised me to sell Andreas, ha. Is there something i should know? Any beef between you!!

          Because a lot of time, Andreas will be your 1st sub.. but if you have a mid like Foden, you will play him.. any point from Andreas will always be on your bench.. if you can maximise this spot, I think you should go for it…

            No worries mate. For me, Foden in the XI, Andreas the ultimate sub.

              Great mate.. I am playing 5 mids… Bowen, Martinelli, Foden, Maddison & Zaha.. cheers!!!
