FPL Tips Gameweek 12 | Last Minute

Fantasy Football Tips GW12 from our Fantasy Football Community ahead of the deadline.

The big conversation still surrounds which premium options to own for the Fantasy Football tips for Gameweek 12.

Injuries

There’s plenty of injury news for the fantasy football tips gameweek 12, with Hakim Ziyech’s hamstring injury suffered early last weekend against Leeds United perhaps the most notable. It’s no surprise to see him as the most transferred out player ahead of the deadline, with Jack Grealish and Mo Salah dominating the replacements.

On Ziyech and CHO. "They had scans [on Monday] and they’re showing it will be about two weeks so I think that’s positive, particularly with Hakim. With Callum, we didn’t know what to expect because it was an injury he got in training [Sunday]."https://t.co/sxhomfaRoh #CFC
