<h3>🤖 Hub AI pick: Erling Haaland - 8.6 predicted points</h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leeds (H)</strong></p>
<p>You can paint a few narratives here - Haaland chasing his 100th league goal is balanced against City being a wounded animal after defeats in Gameweek 12 and in midweek.</p>
<p>But ultimately, City’s attacking stats are good and although the defensive data for Leeds isn't bad, they’ve conceded 13 goals in their last six.</p>
<p>Leeds don’t have any glaring weaknesses, although they do concede the most shots from their centre and left.</p>
<p>Their away form is atrocious  and they haven’t kept a single clean sheet away from home yet.</p>
<p>All this leads Haaland to a healthy predicted points score and a sizeable lead over the competition.</p>

<h3>2️⃣ Main alternative: Mohamed Salah – 6.4 predicted points</h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (A)</strong></p>
<p>West Ham is an enticing fixture for Salah, however the away factor does temper some of the expectation alongside Liverpool’s dire form.</p>
<p>From a match-up perspective, the stars align. West Ham concede the most chances from his side and leak big chances.</p>
<p>His historic record against the Hammers is excellent too, with 18 attacking returns in 15 starts including a haul away last season.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>👀 Differential option: Bukayo Saka - 6.0 predicted points</h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Chelsea (A)</strong></p>
<p>Chelsea away isn’t typically a fixture I’d target for a captain and Saka is in danger of being overshadowed by his cheaper team mates.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-defcon-points-watch">Defensive contributions</a> will only take you so far.</p>
<p>This fixture doesn’t strike me as one that will be filled with goals either and I’d be surprised to see Saka included in many Free Hit teams.</p>

<h2>Summary: Best FPL Gameweek 13 captaincy pick</h2>
<p>This week is a no-brainer really - Haaland at home against a promoted side.</p>
<p>There’s no real reason to venture elsewhere but should you Triple Captain him?</p>
<h2>FPL Triple Captain: Haaland in Gameweek 13?</h2>
<p>There are a number of factors to consider when weighing up whether to use the Triple Captain this week.</p>
<p>Haaland is the most reliable regular captaincy choice currently and given nobody else has really threatened to compete with him, it seems to be a case of when to use the Triple Captain, not who to use it on.</p>
<h3>Chips</h3>
<p>Time is running out to use the first set of <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-chip-strategy-guide">chips</a> - they must be used by Gameweek 19.</p>
<p>You can only use one chip at a time and anyone who still has a Free Hit will need to consider that too. This week and Gameweek 16 appear to be the best weeks left to use it.</p>
<h3>Fixtures</h3>
<p>The key fixtures for Haaland from now until Gameweek 19 are Gameweek 13 v Leeds (H), Gameweek 15 v Sunderland (H) and Gameweek 17 v West Ham.</p>
<p>We’re focusing on the home fixtures as he typically scores more at the Etihad. That means we have a choice between three options.</p>
