Best Midfielder: Mohamed Salah vs West Ham (A) - 6.4 predicted points
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah retains his place as the best midfielder, despite Liverpool losing six of their last seven league games. A trip to 17th-placed West Ham gives them a good opportunity to turn their form around.
Salah has had a quiet start to the season by his high standards from last campaign, averaging one goal involvement every two games. His underlying numbers show promise, with 15 shots and four big chances in the last four gameweeks, plus eight key passes.
He is an explosive pick with high upside, which is why many managers are ignoring the form evidence to back Salah on Free Hit in Gameweek 13. He doesn’t have many more opportunities to make an impact before departing for the African Cup of Nations.
Midfield Gem: Phil Foden vs Leeds United (H) - 5.4 predicted points
Manchester City have one of the standout fixtures of the weekend as they host Leeds United who sit in the relegation spots of the Premier League table. Phil Foden is a high upside pick for this fixture, who played limited minutes in midweek.
The majority of managers will be looking to own and at least captain Erling Haaland, so adding the 5% owned Foden into the midfield for an attacking double up becomes a big differential move.
Foden has started every Premier League game since Gameweek 4, although he only has two goal involvements this season. He’s had eight shots on goal in the last four gameweeks, making 12 key passes.
Best Forward: Erling Haaland vs Leeds United (H) - 8.6 predicted points
Erling Haaland is the best captain option once again ahead of FPL Gameweek 13, with growing momentum to play the Triple Captain chip on the game's most potent player ahead of a home game against Leeds United.
Haaland’s record speaks for itself this season, with 15 goal involvements, 14 goals and one assist. His underlying numbers are equally impressive, with 16 shots and eight big chances on goal in the last four gameweeks alone.
Leeds United sit 18th in the Premier League table, with Manchester City a formidable force at the Etihad. Haaland has scored a brace in four of the six home fixtures he’s had at home this season, with just one blank.
Forward Gem: Raul Jimenez vs Spurs (A) - 5.0 predicted points
Fulham striker Raul Jimenez is flying under the radar but is another asset worth backing in Gameweek 13, on five predicted points for the trip to Spurs. He is an ultra differential, in less than 1% of FPL teams.
He is a striker in form, with one goal and two assists in the last four gameweeks. He’s started five consecutive games in the Premier League, where he’s racked up 15 shots and three big chances on goal. He’s also on penalties.
Fulham have won two of their last three Premier League games, while Spurs have picked up just one point from their last three games. They’ve also had a busy European midweek, losing 5-3 to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
