The Early Gameweek 13 Preview

There’s an early deadline on Friday 19:00. Don’t be caught out, read the Gameweek 13 preview with these hints and tips.

Manchester City

The league leaders have another easy game this week. Pep has clarified the rotation situation somewhat, but there’s a warning for those jumping on the rotation proof Sane.

Aguero and Jesus are both fit for the UCL tie versus Feyenoord: "It is my toughest decision. There are a lot of games and they have to be ready to play well, even if it is from the bench." #MCFC

Insight from Pep following the injury to Mendy: "Sane has to go wide [now], which is why they [Aguero and Jesus] don't play together." #MCFC

Injuries, rotation and suspension

As Fantasy Premier League managers start to look ahead to the busy Festive Fixture Schedule we are forced to adapt our squads and look at implications of not being able to field a full XI. All whilst trying to own the form players. Here’s some hints and tips for the Gameweek 13 preview.

BREAKING: Oumar Niasse banned for two games following rejection of @Everton's appeal. Will miss games vs Southampton and West Ham.

Those who did the early transfer of Abraham to Niasse with a double dose of regret today:

Niasse with an incoming 2 game ban for diving ✅
Clement confirms that Abraham should be fit for BOU this weekend. ✅

Patience really is a virtue in this game.#fpl

? The following popular FPL players have 3 yellow cards. If they pick up 2 more in the next 9GW’s (including the EFL Cup), they’ll face a 1 match ban.

Morata
Duffy
Alonso
Sanchez
Fernandinho

Another hurdle to negotiate in a busy December…https://t.co/dwrOrNRfS1

Phil Jones has a "proper injury" that will rule him out of tomorrow’s UCL tie with FC Basel and also Saturday's Premier League encounter with Brighton. #MUFC

Captains

Many players returned in Gameweek 12, but Kane disappointed. That doesn’t go to say that he’s off the agenda for Gameweek 13. Are some a glutton for punishment or being reasonable with their predictions?
