André Onana (Manchester United)

Goalkeeper | £5.1m | Next Fixture: EVE (H) | Projected Points: 4.8

Manchester United's shot-stopper has been a reliable presence between the sticks this season. With 5 clean sheets and an impressive 33 saves in just 12 matches, Onana has proven his worth. His projected 4.8 points for the upcoming home fixture against Everton suggest he could be a solid choice for managers looking for consistency in their goalkeeper slot.

Joël Veltman (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Defender | £4.6m | Next Fixture: SOU (H) | Projected Points: 4.4

Brighton's versatile defender offers excellent value at £4.6m. While his attacking returns have been limited this season, Veltman has contributed to 3 clean sheets. With a favourable home fixture against Southampton on the horizon and a projected 4.4 points, he could be a shrewd budget pick for FPL managers.

Projected clean sheets for Gameweek 13


Brighton lead the way for projected clean sheets in Gameweek 13, with a 50% chance of securing one according to our Predicted Points & Stats tool.

Ola Aina (Nottingham Forest)

Defender | £4.8m | Next Fixture: IPS (H) | Projected Points: 4.3

Aina has been a revelation for Nottingham Forest this season. The defender has already notched up 4 clean sheets and even chipped in with a goal. With a home fixture against Ipswich Town coming up, Aina could be set for another strong performance.

Pervis Estupiñán (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Defender | £5.0m | Next Fixture: SOU (H) | Projected Points: 4.2

Estupiñan hasn't delivered any attacking returns in the past six Gameweeks, featuring for just 423 minutes. However, the Ecuadorian international remains Brighton's most creative defender during this stretch, leading the way in attempted assists (4), big chances created (2), and Expected Assists (xA) with a total of 0.64. He's even made it into our Top 5 Key Players for Gameweek 13.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Midfielder | £13.1m | Next Fixture: MCI (H) | Projected Points: 6.1

Mo Salah, the "Egyptian King," remains a dominant force in FPL this season. With 10 goals and 6 assists in just 12 matches, he's averaging an impressive 10 points per game, as highlighted by the Opta Heatmaps tool. His 120 points, including 23 bonus points, make him well worth his premium price tag.

Mo Salah FPL points

Despite a challenging fixture against Manchester City, Salah’s projected 6.1 points underline his ability to deliver in tough matches.

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Midfielder | £10.2m | Next Fixture: WHU (A) | Projected Points: 5.8

Bukayo Saka has been a key player for Arsenal this season, delivering 4 goals and 8 assists so far. The England international leads the Premier League in assists (8), big chances created (15), and expected assists (xA) with 6.2, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox.

Creative stats for Premier League players

With favourable fixtures ahead, including an away trip to West Ham, Saka looks poised for a strong run of form.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)

Midfielder | £7.9m | Next Fixture: LEI (H) | Projected Points: 6.5

Mbeumo has been a standout performer for Brentford this season, offering excellent value at £7.9m. With 8 goals so far, he has significantly outperformed his expected goals (xG) of 3.61, second only to Cunha (7 goals from an xG of 3.23) for xG overperformance.

Mbeumo FPL stats per 90 minutes

However, his output and underlying stats have dipped in the last three games, as highlighted by the Opta Heatmaps tool comparing his per-90-minute data from Gameweeks 1-9 to Gameweeks 10-12. Despite this, a home fixture against Leicester City and 6.5 projected points make Mbeumo an appealing pick for FPL managers.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

Midfielder | £10.9m | Next Fixture: AVL (H) | Projected Points: 7.7

Chelsea’s rising, Cole Palmer, continues to be a revelation. He’s delivered 7 goals and 5 assists, backed by strong underlying stats (5.89 xG and 5.08 xA). His 9 big chances created highlight his creativity and influence in attack.

With a favourable home fixture against Aston Villa and a team-high projected points tally of 7.7, Palmer emerges as a standout captaincy option for FPL managers.

Yoane Wissa (Brentford)

Forward | £6.1m | Next Fixture: LEI (H) | Projected Points: 6.2

Wissa has been in fine form for Brentford, scoring 6 goals in just 640 minutes of play. His 5.01 xG suggests his scoring rate is sustainable. With a favourable home fixture against Leicester City and 6.2 projected points, Wissa could be a shrewd differential pick for FPL managers.

Danny Welbeck (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Forward | £6.0m | Next Fixture: SOU (H) | Projected Points: 4.7

Welbeck has been a consistent performer for Brighton, with 6 goals and 2 assists to his name. His 4.7 xG aligns closely with his actual goal tally, indicating sustainable performance. A home fixture against Southampton presents an opportunity for Welbeck to add to his tally.

Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)

Forward | £6.6m | Next Fixture: IPS (H) | Projected Points: 5.8

Wood has been a surprise package this season, netting 8 goals for Nottingham Forest. His 15 bonus points highlight his importance to his team's performances. With a home fixture against Ipswich Town and 5.8 projected points, Wood could be an excellent differential option for managers looking to climb the ranks.
