<h2>Best FPL players for Gameweek 13</h2>
<h3>Erling Haaland (£14.9m) - Manchester City</h3>
Fixture: Leeds 
A home fixture against Leeds is exactly the kind of game where Haaland thrives. 
With a league-leading 14 goals and an xG of 14.6, the numbers continue to underline why he is the Premier League’s most reliable finisher.  
Leeds have struggled away from home and there is no doubt the Norwegian will get plenty of chances here. 
Even in tougher games, he posts elite-level expected stats, ensuring he is always one moment away from a double-digit haul, so a fixture like this could mean a massive score.
Unsurprisingly, City are the favourites to score 2.5-plus goals (48%) and Haaland is the clear favourite to score at any time (63%).<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}"> 
<a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> agrees, as it rates him as the highest predicted points scorer for Gameweek 13 (8.6 points) .<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}">

<h3>Morgan Rogers (£6.8m) - Aston Villa</h3>
Fixture: Wolves (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}"> 
Rogers enters this gameweek as one of the league’s most in-form midfielders following his brace last weekend.  
With three goals and two assists already this season, he’s looking like approaching last season's form where he managed eight goals and 11 assists.  
Importantly, he looks completely nailed. He's playing a lot of minutes and remains integral to Villa’s attacking structure.  
This week’s fixture is ideal - a home match against Wolves, who sit bottom of the table. 
Wolves have struggled defensively all season, conceding the most goals (27) with an expected goals conceded (xGC) of 18.0. 
Rogers offers multiple ways to return - he drifts into dangerous central areas and is involved in a lot of Villa’s attacks, making him a serious goal and assist threat.

<h3>Igor Thiago (£6.5m) - Brentford</h3>
Fixture: Burnley (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}"> 
Thiago has been one of the breakout stars of the season.  
With nine goals already and a £0.5m <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-price-rises">price rise</a>, he has quickly become one of the most reliable budget forwards in FPL.  
He’s firmly first choice, consistently gets 90 minutes and crucially, he is on penalties - a massive advantage in a Brentford side who are good going forward and seem to be winning a lot of penalties.
This week he faces Burnley, arguably the best attacking fixture in the league.  
Scott Parker's side have conceded 24 goals - third most - and have an xGC of 29.4 - the worst in the league. 
Thiago thrives against weaker defences and is clear talisman for the Bees. 
He is the second favourite to score at any time (49%) in Gameweek 13. <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 ranks him as the fourth highest predicted scorer too (5.6).<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}">

<h3>Mohamed Salah (£14.2m) - Liverpool</h3>
Fixture: West Ham (A)<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}"> 
Liverpool and Salah have not hit their usual heights this season but this Gameweek gives Salah another opportunity to remind everyone what he’s capable of.<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}"> 
The Reds face West Ham, who have conceded 25 goals with an xGC of 20.7 - the second worst in the leagu. <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}"> 
Even in a poor Liverpool campaign, Salah’s individual brilliance means he can get a big haul at any time. It’s surely a matter of time before they start to get it together again.<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}"> 
Salah is still on penalties, good for minutes and is the focal point of Liverpool’s attack.
 When the fixture is this good, Salah becomes a classic 'form is temporary, class is permanent' type of pick. <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}"> 
Liverpool are the second favourites to score 2.5-plus goals (38%) and Salah is at a healthy 43% to score at any time.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
The Egyptian is ranked as the second highest predicted scorer according to Hub AI (6.3).

<h3>Matty Cash (£4.6m) - Aston Villa</h3>
Fixture: Wolves (H)<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:299,&quot;335559739&quot;:299,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}"> 
Villa have quietly been one of the stronger defensive teams this season, keeping four clean sheets and conceding only 11 goals, the fourth fewest in the league.  
Cash stands out because of his attacking threat - he’s Villa’s most advanced full-back, effectively playing as an extra winger at times.  
He already has two goals this season and frequently gets further up the field, making him one of the most dangerous defenders this week given the fixture.  
Villa are the third favourites to keep a clean sheet (42%).<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}"> 
Wolves have struggled to create chances and are bottom of the league. They have scored the fewest goals (seven) and also have the fifth worst xG (11.64). 
With Cash being nailed and offering genuine attacking threat, he is one of the best defensive options for the gameweek.
