As the Premier League football resumes after the international break, there are a few key decisions to make on which teams and players you back in these fixtures. Manchester City take on Liverpool, Newcastle host Chelsea and Arsenal travel to Brentford on Saturday.
Who should you sign in FPL Gameweek 13?
Weeks like this can be all about the differential players, picking up points on players who are overlooked by other managers.
It might be time to hop aboard the Eberechi Eze (£6.1m) train. He is currently in just 4.1% of FPL squads, costs £6.1m and has delivered attacking returns in both appearances since returning from injury.
Since Roy Hodgson’s return in March, Eze has scored eight goals in 19 Premier League games.
Palace’s next three games look winnable too: Luton (A), West Ham (A) and Bournemouth (H).
Should you sell Matty Cash?
Matty Cash (£5.2m) is the second-most selected FPL defender (33.6%) after Kieran Trippier (£7.0m) but it might be time to move away from him.
Aston Villa have a tough run of games coming up – Spurs (A), Bournemouth (A), Manchester City (H), Arsenal (H) – and have kept just two clean sheets this season.
Liverpool vs Man City
City vs Liverpool is a tough fixture to judge for FPL managers.
Darwin Nunez (£7.5m) is the fourth-most owned forward in FPL but Jurgen Klopp seems to prefer not to start him on the road.
Nunez has started just two of Liverpool’s six away games so far this season – matches against Luton and Brighton where Klopp had restricted attacking options.
For the Amex trip, Liverpool were without Cody Gakpo (£7.2m) and Diogo Jota (£7.7m). Against Luton, Luis Diaz’s (£7.4m) involvement was doubtful due to his father’s kidnapping.
One player who is likely to be a popular choice for many FPL managers is Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool forward has been a consistent points scorer in recent seasons and is likely to continue to be a key figure for the Reds. With his pace, skill, and eye for goal, Salah is a player who is capable of delivering big points hauls on a regular basis.
Another player who should be on the radar of FPL managers is Bruno Fernandes. The Manchester United midfielder has been a revelation since arriving at Old Trafford and has been a consistent points scorer in FPL. With his ability to both score and create goals, Fernandes is a player who offers both attacking threat and potential for bonus points.
In defense, one player who is likely to be a popular choice is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool full-back is known for his attacking prowess and ability to deliver assists from deep positions. With his ability to deliver crosses and set pieces, Alexander-Arnold is a player who can provide a steady stream of points for FPL managers.
In goal, one player who should be on the radar of FPL managers is Ederson. The Manchester City goalkeeper is known for his shot-stopping ability and is likely to keep a high number of clean sheets throughout the season. With City likely to be a strong defensive outfit, Ederson is a player who offers both clean sheet potential and potential for save points.
Of course, there are many other players who will catch the eye of FPL managers as the new season approaches. With so many talented players to choose from, there will be plenty of options for fantasy football managers as they look to build their dream team for the 23/24 season.
Ultimately, the key to success in FPL is finding the right balance of players who offer both attacking threat and defensive solidity. By selecting the right players and staying on top of team news and injuries, FPL managers can hope to build a dream team that will deliver big points throughout the season. With the 23/24 season offering the potential for new stars to emerge and established players to deliver big points hauls, there will be plenty of excitement and drama for fantasy football managers to enjoy.
