<h2>Best FPL players for Gameweek 12</h2>
<h3>Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) - Arsenal</h3>
Fixture: Spurs (H)<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299}"> 
Saka has looked increasingly sharp and back to full fitness after recent injury concerns.  
He played the full 90 minutes in each of his last two games and even scored for England in their recent international fixture against Serbia. 
For Gameweek 12, Arsenal host Spurs - a match that provides a strong platform for Saka to deliver, especially at the Emirates. 
Saka’s value lies not just in goals but in his creativity and set-piece involvement - and he is occasionally hitting the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-defcon-points-watch">defensive contributions</a> threshold too. 
He offers both assist and goal potential and remains deeply integrated in Arsenal’s attacking play.  
Saka is the third highest predicted scoring player (6.6 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
<div id="attachment_75803" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75803" class="size-full wp-image-75803" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/playerstats-Saka-bordered-7.jpeg" alt="Bukayo Saka Stats" width="840" height="690" />

<h3>Mohamed Salah (£14.2m) - Liverpool</h3>
Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299}"> 
Despite Liverpool's recent inconsistency, Salah remains their most explosive player.  
His Gameweek 12 fixture against Forest at Anfield is about as good as it gets. 
Liverpool are the favorites to score 2.5-plus goals in this match (42%), which bodes well for Salah’s upside. 
Salah is nailed on to start, takes penalties and is expected to play the full 90 minutes.  
His experience and historical performances means he is still a dangerous pick and surely once Liverpool get back to form, he will too. 
The Egyptian won’t get many better games to get back to scoring ways. 
Hub AI still rates him, as he’s the second highest predicted scorer (7.0 points) for Gameweek 12. 
Salah is also at 45% (third) to score at any time.

<h3>Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m) - Manchester United</h3>
Fixture: Everton (H)<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299}"> 
Fernandes continues to be one of FPL’s most reliable FPL options.  
United face Everton in Gameweek 12 - a match United will likely dominate and create plenty of chances in. 
The Portuguese is central to everything the Red Devils do offensively. He’s on penalties, heavily involved in set-pieces and is the one pulling the strings in attack. 
His ability to produce both goals and assists, especially in favourable games, makes him a very attractive pick.  
When United are expected to control the game, Fernandes is often involved in one way or another.
Ruben Amorim's side have clearly been a much better team this season and certainly more potent in the final third. 
Fernandes is the fifth highest predicted points scorer (6.0 points) in Gameweek 12 according to Hub AI.

<h3>Antoine Semenyo (£8.1m) - Bournemouth</h3>
Fixture: West Ham (H)<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299}"> 
Semenyo has had a solid season so far, contributing with six goals and four assists. 
While he’s blanked in his last few matches, that’s partly down to tough fixtures, including Manchester City and Aston Villa away. 
Gameweek 12 offers a reset as the Cherries host West Ham, a team who have shown defensive vulnerabilities. 
They have conceded the second most goals (23) and also have the second worst expected goals conceded (xGC) of 16.6.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/are-fpl-managers-selling-semenyo-too-soon">Are FPL managers losing patience with Semenyo too soon? </a></li>
</ul>
Semenyo is more than just a goal threat - he can assist and if Justin Kluivert (£7.0m) is not on the pitch, will likely retain penalty duties.  
His role in Bournemouth’s attack makes him a high-upside pick, especially in what looks like one of their more favourable fixtures coming up. 
Hub AI ranks him as the fourth highest predicted scorer (6.1 points) for Gameweek 12.

<h3>Erling Haaland (£14.9m) - Manchester City</h3>
Fixture: Newcastle (A) 
Haaland remains the most potent player in the game.  
Even though City face a difficult tie in Gameweek 12, his elite form and role as the focal point of their attack mean he’s still very much a top pick.  
Newcastle have the third best xGC (12.69) so far but City will still be favourites to score. 
Despite the tough game, Haaland is the leading option to score at any time (49%) which just goes to show how elite his finishing is.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Yes, the match might pose a challenge but Haaland’s ability to convert big chances - even against tougher defences - makes him indispensable.  
He only needs a couple of chances per game to net a big haul.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Hub AI is very bullish on him and ranks him as the highest predicted scoring player (7.4 points) again.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
<div id="attachment_75807" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-75807" class="size-full wp-image-75807" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/playerstats-Haaland-bordered-9.jpeg" alt="Erling Haaland Stats" width="840" height="690" />
