Another jam-packed weekend is in store for Premier League clubs and that also means there’s more fun to be had for online Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Everything you need to know as Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare their teams for Game Week 13 with plenty of things to consider before submitting your latest squad.

  • DEADLINE INFORMATION: The Game Week 13 (GW13) deadline is on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 1.30pm. The first matches from Game Week 13 take place from 3pm.

Best fixtures to target;

  • Man City (H) vs Leeds: Leeds have struggled defensively – especially away from home – making this one stand-out fixture for Man City’s forwards this season.
  • Liverpool (A) vs West Ham: West Ham’s underlying defensive data is poor, offering a strong fixture for Liverpool’s albeit mis-firing front-line.
  • Brentford (H) vs Burnley: Burnley have one of the worst defensive records in the whole division, offering Brentford a great chance for clean sheets and attacking returns.
  • Aston Villa (H) vs Wolves: Villa are excellent at home, while Wolves are winless in the top-flight and are conceding goals freely.

Major injury and suspension news;

  • Gabriel (£6.2m – Arsenal): Ruled out with a thigh issue picked up on international duty. He’s the most sold player this week and should be a shoo-in be transferred out.
  • Cole Palmer (£11.0m – Chelsea): A minor doubt owing to a fractured toe. Enzo Maresca has confirmed he’s available, but the injury is still a concern.
  • Kai Havertz (£7.2m – Arsenal): Doubtful with a groin problem. Unlikely to start against Chelsea.
  • Kieran Trippier (£6.7m – Newcastle): He’s available and expected to start against Everton. His injury is more a concern for future games, if he suffers a setback.
  • Cristian Romero (£5.0m – Tottenham): Suspended. A priority to be transferred out.
  • Idrissa Gueye (£5.0m – Everton): Suspended. Serving a three-match ban.

Top captain picks for GW13;

  • Erling Haaland (£14.9m – Man City): The clear favourite with overwhelming ownership. Faces a favourable home fixture against Leeds.
  • Mohamed Salah (£13.2m – Liverpool): A usually reliable, high-floor choice. He faces West Ham.
  • Cole Palmer (£11.0m – Chelsea): High-risk… high-reward. If he starts against Arsenal, his form and ownership make him an interesting differential.

Recommended transfers IN for GW13;

  • Igor Thiago (£6.5m – Brentford): Currently the most-transferred-in player in FPL. High form, and leading all forwards in FPL points since Game Week 9. Excellent home fixture against Burnley.
  • Nico O’Reilly (£5.1m – Man City): The value pick for the injured Gabriel. Man City faces an ideal home fixture (Leeds) for a clean sheet. Outstanding attacking stats for a defender – one goal, two assists in recent matches – and a high shot volume.
  • Daniel Muñoz (£4.7m – Crystal Palace): A high-upside, budget-friendly option. Attacking full-back who gets into advanced positions. Faces a favourable home fixture against Manchester United.
  • Morgan Rogers (£6.9m – Aston Villa): An in-form differential midfielder for the Wolves (at home) fixture. In excellent home form and high shot volume.
