Community XI: Gameweek 13 Preview
The community have plenty of hints and tips for the Gameweek 13 preview.
How should you prepare for the festive period and which assets are worth transferring in?
1. Vs
In the Gameweek 13 preview, there’s plenty of fixtures coming up, with a shift in difficulty as we have more data available to us. It’s Liverpool who top the charts for FPL Vs over the next 6 gameweeks: will you be holding firm on Salah?

2. TV
Salah is a popular option for the Gameweek 13 preview, particularly as a captaincy contender. He’s had a quieter International Break than usual and has an outstanding record against his opponents Watford.
Potentially useful bit of knowledge for the #FPLCommunity,
Egypt's friendly against UAE on Tuesday has been cancelled, so just one friendly for Salah during this break (Tomorrow).
An 8-day rest for Mo before Watford.

3. Hopcroft
Salah may be lagging behind other options in terms of points per match, but he’s incredibly consistent. Hazard, Alonso and Mane are the explosive options, managing double-digit returns on 4 occasions this season.
Points per match
*no of 10+ returns
Sterling 7.9***
Hazard 7.5****
Alonso 7.2****
Aguero 6.7**
Robertson 6.5**
Martial 6.4***
Salah 6.3*
Mane 6.2****
Wilson 6**
Richarlison 5.9**
Fraser 5.8***

4. Max
Max has plenty of statistics in terms of expected goals for the Gameweek 13 preview. Manchester City appear to be in a league of their own, but there’s some interesting standout options here: Bournemouth should be considered despite tricky fixtures.
xG/xGA chart ⬇️ After 120 games sample size is big enough to find tendencies in here. City totally dominating in both xG and xGA. Positive surprises: BOU, CAR. Negative: HUD, ARS, BHA. Let me know what you're thinking and share if you liked it. #FPL @OfficialFPL

5. El Clasico
Spurs look on paper to be a good team to invest in as the festive period emerges, but FPL El Clasico has an interesting take on their run. It’s the Cup competitions which could detract from their seemingly advantageous run in the Premier League.

A lot can be learnt from previous seasons when it comes to festive rotation. FPL Scout provide an excellent article targeting minutes played by some of the most popular FPL assets this time last year. Who’s safe for investment?
? It's the most wonderful time of the year – but not for Fantasy managers.
We look at the fixtures played by various #FPL players over the Christmas period in 2017/18 to see how rotation might affect them in December/January of this season.
