It’s time for another team reveal as we approach Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Rob Mayes – who you can find here on X – has nine consecutive finishes inside the top 30k, which means he ranks sixth in our Career Hall of Fame.

GAMEWEEK 13 REVIEW

FPL Gameweek 13: Saturday’s goals, assists, bonus + ‘DefCon’ points

Gameweek 13 went about as well as I could have hoped. I didn’t play a chip, but still came away with a really nice green arrow, 60 points and a jump up to 88k.

I’ve still got both the Triple Captain and Free Hit to use over the coming weeks, so fingers crossed I can push on.

The transfers also landed on the right side of luck – bringing in Phil Foden (£8.1m) for Enzo Fernandez (£6.7m) paid off straight away.

    I've got Pope, Senesi, Sarr and Caicedo to deal with. Thinking I'll get rid of the injured outfielders for long term picks and gives me one on the bench (Andersen). Only have 1ft and 2m itb.

                I'd be more inclined to Mbeumo

                I'd need to drop Haaland for another premium like Salah

                Might drop the big man

                You might be on to something

                  I have my free hit left too and taking Haaland out is a risk but it is a ‘free hit’ after all

                  If Haaland was benched I’d be free hitting straight away

                  I don’t own Mbeumo and think he could do well against West Ham unfortunately

    Sarr is leaving, but not decided between Anderson/Minteh/Rice as replacement.

    Rice would mean I can't get Saka next round, but can still get Bruno.
    Would like Bruno now, but would mean Semenyo out for a hit.

    FH in GW16.

    A: Rice (Saka gone)
    B: Minteh

        Mbeumo - 24/12 Cameroon v Gabon

        Yeah I’m leaning towards this as Thiaw is arguably better to get in next GW anyway

          If I trusted 100% O’Reilly starts this week… I’d probably get him in.

    Start Bowen @ United or Kudus @ Newcastle?

    Or play both and bench the fraudulent Pedro @ Leeds?

    Team in shambles, and only have 1FT..
    Pope*, Dubvraka
    Bradley*, Senesi*, Timber, Rodon, Diouf
    Sarr*, Mbuemo, Semenyo, Saka, King
    Haaland, Mateta, Woltmade

    Which issue to sort first? Bradely out for O´Riley or Sarr to Minteh? Or both for -4?

      I’m guessing 3-4-3 and bench King?

      I’m guessing some teams who played in Europe might rotate / manage mins for some players so having guaranteed mins from people like Minteh could be useful….id go both for -4

      I would take a hit.
      Move Brad & Sarr.
      OReilly is good, but could get a rest this GW.
      Minteh a good choice medium term.

      Who are your other mids? Can you get Gakpo in for anyone else?

      I’d personally go Enzo over Cherki based on Pep Roulette…although Cherki could be a great differential
