The Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 13 is here and there is a lot to think about during the 2 weeks long international break.
So, let’s jump to our FPL GW13 Tips with the best picks, fixtures, transfer targets, odds, captain picks, and team selection.
1. Making the most of the international break in FPL Gameweek 13:

2. Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 13 Tips
- Having two free transfers is always handy during international breaks. If you saved on a transfer in the previous gameweek, you can use 1 free transfer early (if necessary) in the international break and save the other one for Saturday in case there are some injuries on international duty. But if there are no urgent transfers to be made, save both free transfers to the end of the International break.
- Doing mini Wildcard: If your team needs rebalancing, you could do a “mini wildcard” with 3 transfers (2 free + one -4 points hit).
- If you have just one free transfer, save it for the end of the international break. You never know what will happen on international duty as some players might get injured.
- Keep Bruno Fernandes for the fixture against Everton
- Focus on Arsenal, Liverpool, Brighton and West Ham players
- Bench order: Burnley has nice fixtures ahead – you can have Charlie Taylor first on your bench (Read more: How to order your bench in FPL?)
- You could play Archer in Gameweek 13, if your team structure allows it, and if you do not have to bench a better player
- Start slowly planning for AFCON 2024 (some players might miss 3-4 gameweeks between GW21 – GW24) – see our FPL calendar
- Haaland’s injury does not seem to be serious, is expected to play against Liverpool (it is early kick off, so perhaps there will be some information before the deadline on whether he is fit)
- Mitoma was back in training, but will not feature in GW13 game against Nottingham (source). He is sell for us unless you have some great options from the bench, or other more pressing issues
- Bowen is an injury doubt, but the decision will be made before the game. He is a hold for us. (source)
- Cash should be fit to start in GW13

“Mitoma and Milner can’t play, they are not available. We will have to see with Igor.
“We have too many injuries – I have lost count! Dunk is available, Estupinan isn’t – I think for a long time. Lamptey is better which is good news.” #BHAFC pic.twitter.com/s9car1PXzy

3. Key players to pick and transfer targets for FPL GW13
Key players to pick
- Haaland – captain option in almost any gameweek
- Salah – great form
- Son – captaincy candidate for GW12
- Saka – It is time to bring Arsenal midfielders back to our teams, but wait for their injury news
- Gabriel/Saliba – focus on Arsenal’s defence again
- Watkins/Diaby/Cash – one or two Aston Villa players, give them 2 more gameweeks
- Bowen (if fit) – West Ham key player
- Trippier – but not essential given injuries among Newcastle defenders and tougher fixtures
- Johnstone/Andersen/Guehi/Mitchell – Crystal Palace defensive players who have great fixtures up to GW15
Transfer targets
- Eze – back from injury, great fixtures
- Kudus – great differential
- Arsenal MID/DEF
- Solanke – good stats, form, a key man for Bournemouth, and nice fixtures ahead (the only downside is, that Bournemouth will not score many goals)

As usual, we converted bookies odds into probabilities using our Odds to probability calculator, to assess the potential of GW 13.
Clean sheet odds for GW13
Crystal Palace (35 %) has the highest probability of a clean sheet in GW13. Bookies also favor Arsenal and Fulham (33 %) to keep a clean sheet in GW 13. However, clean sheet odds are very tight for GW13, no team close to 50 % probability as we are used to, which suggests clean sheets could be unpredictably spread around in Gameweek 13.

Bookies expect 4.64 clean sheets in gameweek 13. In last season, we were used to a rate of 5.45 per clean sheets gameweek. This season we have seen clean sheets at the rate of 4.25 clean sheets per gameweek. Clean sheets are on the decline in 2023/24 season.
Expected clean sheets
Due to correction in the number of clean sheets: Crystal Palace, Newcastle
Crystal Palace overperformed their defensive expectations the most of all teams. They should have kept 2.9 clean sheets instead of 5 according to our expected clean sheets table.
Due to an improvement in the number of clean sheets: Brighton, Burnley
Brighton underperformed their defensive expectations the most from all teams. They should have kept 3.26 clean sheets instead of 0 according to our expected clean sheets table.
