FPL managers are in for a busy couple of weeks. The deadline for Gameweek 13 is on Tuesday evening, less than 48 hours from the conclusion of Gameweek 12.
FPL managers have a lot to consider before deciding on their captaincy and transfer choices, with teams likely to rest some key players to manage their workload.
With Liverpool and Spurs taking on each other, the captaincy appeal of FPL assets such as Mohamed Salah (LIV) (MID) (£12.3 m) and Son Heung-Min (TOT) (MID)(£9.6 m) has reduced.
FPL managers will have a hard time figuring out the right captaincy options for Gameweek 13. With that in mind, we have compiled a list of the top 5 best FPL captaincy choices that players can make for the upcoming gameweek.
Honorable Mentions: Timo Werner (CHE) (FWD) (£9.5 m), Callum Wilson (NEW) (FWD) (£6.6 m).
#5 Jack Grealish (AVL) (MID)- £7.8 m (vs) BUR(H)
Jack Grealish is among the top FPL midfielders heading into Gameweek 13. While he hasn't been very consistent this season, a home fixture against Burnley seems like a great fixture to select your captain from.
Grealish has the second-highest threat stats among FPL midfielders and while he hasn't always delivered the end product, his underlying stats have been pretty good this season.
While Villa has done pretty well when it comes to their xG stats, Burnley hasn't been defending too well, and their xGA stats reflect that.
Despite the risk of him blanking, Grealish's explosive points-potential leaves him in good stead ahead of FPL Gameweek 13.
#4 Jamie Vardy (LEI) (FWD)- £10.3 m (vs) BHA(H)
Leicester City's Jamie Vardy is another FPL option who is a decent captaincy pick for Gameweek 13.
While both Vardy and the Foxes haven't fared that well in home games, a fixture against an unconvincing Everton defense is too appealing to ignore.
Vardy has ten goals and five assists this season and is the second-highest point-scoring FPL forward. He certainly has what it takes to get a huge FPL haul in Gameweek 13 and is a good captaincy choice.
#3 Patrick Bamford (LEE) (FWD)- (£6.2 m) (vs) NEW (H)
Patrick Bamford has been in phenomenal form since the start of the season and has the second-highest threat stats among FPL forwards. Leeds United have been in good form over the last five gameweeks and have been unlucky not to find the net more than four times.
Leeds are in the top four teams in terms of xG stats. However, they have actually underperformed and should do better in upcoming gameweeks.
Bamford is involved in almost all the goals that Leeds score and in a home game against a team like Newcastle, he could really rack up the FPL points.
#2 Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) (MID) - (£11.8 m) (vs) WBA (H)
A home fixture against West Bromwich Albion makes Kevin De Bruyne an enticing FPL captaincy option. The only factor that may work against him is that Pep Guardiola might opt to rest him for this match given the hectic schedule ahead. Having played the full 90 minutes against Manchester United on Saturday, the possibility that he might be rested for a Tuesday night fixture remains high.
However, he is almost assured of getting a huge FPL haul if he starts, given West Brom's defensive frailties. While there is a slight risk in giving him your captain's armband, it could also prove to be very rewarding.
#1 Bruno Fernandes (MUN) (MID) - (£10.9 m) (vs) SHU (A)
Bruno Fernandes is undoubtedly the top FPL captaincy option for Gameweek 13. He's very likely to start the game, especially since Manchester United plays in the last match of the gameweek on Thursday night.
While the Red Devils have been pretty inconsistent this season, one would back them to perform well against this bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United team.
The fact that it's an away game makes this FPL captaincy decision even more appealing for Fernandes' owners, considering that he's yet to blank in an away game this season.
With everything working in his favor, there's no doubt that Bruno Fernandes is a top captaincy option for this FPL Gameweek.
