FPL 2025 Scout: Best Fantasy Premier League Team, Player Picks, Chips for Gameweek 13

League leaders Arsenal’s tough away match against London rivals Chelsea is the perfect opportunity for Fantasy Premier League managers to use the ‘Free Hit’ chip in matchweek 13.

Manchester City will take on Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium, offering the chance to add more players to the squad this week. Erling Haaland remains the most popular choice for captain despite giving a clean sheet against Newcastle last week.

Nico O’Reilly and Phil Foden could be Pep Guardiola’s next best choices this week. O’Reilly, a defender, has a goal and an assist to his name in the past three weeks and his advanced positioning makes him an attractive option. Foden has just one goal and one assist in the Premier League this season, but the match against Leeds could mark a turning point for the midfielder.

Another team that has a relatively easy match is Aston Villa. The fourth-placed side will face Wolverhampton Wanderers, a side languishing in bottom place. Emiliano Martinez is the best goalkeeper this week. Wolves have scored just seven goals in 12 games so far, and doubling Villa’s defense with Matty Cash could be a viable route.

Despite the difficult situation for Arsenal, keeping Jurrien Timber or Riccardo Calafiori in the team could be a worthy option given the team’s impenetrable defense.

Managers can also turn to Brentford players for the ‘Free Hit’ as the side play Burnley at home. Striker Igor Thiago missed a penalty against Brighton & Hove Albion last week, but is one of the most popular players this week with a selection percentage of 21 percent.
