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
      • 15 Years
      5 days, 9 hours ago

      Yes

    2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 6 Years
      5 days, 9 hours ago

      Where was this help when FPL used to be difficult?

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 8 hours 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.

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

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      5 days, 9 hours ago

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

      1. HD7

        You were right:)

      Who won PL last season?

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        5 days, 8 hours ago

        This is not 2024 anymore

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          5 days, 7 hours 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.

    People captaining Haaland GW14 midweek?

    1. Bigbars
      • 14 Years
      5 days, 9 hours 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
      • 6 Years
      5 days, 9 hours ago

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

      1. Bigbars
        • 14 Years
        5 days, 9 hours 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
          • 6 Years
          5 days, 9 hours 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
    5 days, 9 hours 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
      • 14 Years
      5 days, 9 hours 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
      5 days, 9 hours ago

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

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        5 days, 9 hours ago

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

      2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
        • 6 Years
        5 days, 9 hours 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
            5 days, 9 hours ago

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

            1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
              • 6 Years
              5 days, 8 hours ago

              Don't write any newspaper headlines anytime soon

              1. Punned It
                  5 days, 8 hours ago

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

                  1. Haa-lala-land
                    • 5 Years
                    5 days, 8 hours 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
                        5 days, 8 hours 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
                          • 6 Years
                          5 days, 8 hours 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
                              5 days, 8 hours ago

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

                  • 5 Years
                  5 days, 9 hours ago

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

                  1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
                    • 6 Years
                    5 days, 8 hours ago

                    Fair enough. Still a good name

                5 days, 8 hours ago

                Munoz could get suspended for that game lol

          • Flynny

            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
              5 days, 9 hours ago

              i think it is possible RAN will play midweek instead

            2. TheBrazilianRonaldo
              • 6 Years
              5 days, 9 hours ago

              Bournmouth are done. Bank the Senesi gains and move on

              1. Flynny
                • 10 Years
                5 days, 9 hours 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
                  • 6 Years
                  5 days, 9 hours 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
                    • 10 Years
                    5 days, 8 hours 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

                      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).

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

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

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

              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.

                5 days, 8 hours ago

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

                Genuine question

                1. fedolefan
                  • 11 Years
                  5 days, 8 hours 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.

                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

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

                  • 11 Years
                  5 days, 8 hours ago

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

                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"

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

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

              (Duvravka, Mukiele, King, Senesi*)

              Bruno will likely become Saka at some point.

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

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

              Is TonyGivesAwesome69ers about?

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

                What has Tony69 said or done?!?

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

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

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

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

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

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

                          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."

                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.

                Pick two mids, long term, from

                Bruno G, Anderson, Minteh?

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

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

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

                    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
