Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 13 – Best Players, Fixtures and More

1579

As Fantasy Premier League managers set their sights on Gameweek 13, a post international week birngs some worrying news about injured players and the strategic choices are more crucial than ever.

With key fixtures on the horizon, let's discuss the player options that could set the tone for a successful path to glory in FPL.

Goalkeepers

Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace) could gather points against Luton Town, a matchup that appears favorable for a clean sheet as the Hatters struggle to score goals. Andre Onana (Manchester United) faces a more daunting task against an improving Everton side but might register some saves, while Alphonse Areola (West Ham) will hope to stave off Burnley's offensive threats.

Defenders

Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace) has an opportunity to capitalize on both defensive points and possibly assists against Luton Town. William Saliba (Arsenal) continues to impress and his consistency makes him a solid pick against Brentford. Vladimir Coufal (West Ham) could provide width and his crosses are deadly in his game, while Diogo Dalot (Manchester United) might be a good differential again this week.

Midfielders

The stakes are high for Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) as he faces Manchester City in a fixture that historically delivers goals. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) has been in fine form and could exploit Brentford's defense. Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), facing Fulham, could be a differential given his attacking prowess. Simon Adingra (Brighton) has a chance to shine against Nottingham Forest and his price is more than tempting, while Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) can play again at the central attacking role due to Antonio’s injury status.

Forwads

Erling Haaland (Manchester City), despite the tough Liverpool matchup, remains a goal threat every minute he's on the pitch. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) could find joy against Tottenham's weakened defense, which has shown vulnerability in recent games. Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) faces Sheffield United and could be a smart choice if Bournemouth's attacking momentum continues. Lastly, Odsonne Edouard (Crystal Palace) could be a key player against Luton Town, as Palace will look to him for goals.

In terms of captaincy, the risk-takers might still lean towards Salah or Haaland, despite their tough matchup, due to their explosive potential. Meanwhile, Saka presents a safer bet against Brentford, and Jarrod Bowen could be a differential captain for those looking to make up ground in their leagues.
