FPL Gameweek 13 Transfer Tips: Two Players to Buy, Hold & Sell

GW12 felt repetitive, with familiar patterns continuing:

• 5 – Manchester City suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, a crushing 0-4 loss to Spurs at the Etihad, leaving their title defence in shambles.
• 5 – Mohamed Salah delivered returns for the fifth game in a row, widening his lead over FPL rival Palmer to a staggering 34 points.
• 5 – Trent Alexander-Arnold recorded his fifth consecutive blank, frustrating managers who invested in the costliest defender.

Looking ahead, GW13 promises excitement: a potential title decider between City and Liverpool, Amorim’s first home game, and Ruud van Nistelrooy’s debut as Leicester’s manager.

So, let’s start with our BUY-HOLD-SELL article for this GW, sponsored by …. Well, nobody. We are poor, but you can help here if you want 😊

FPL Gameweek 13 Transfer Tips: Two Players to BUY

Matheus Cunha (£7.0m) – FWD, Wolves – 17.5% TSB

Since GW5, among forwards, Cunhadinho is ranked:

• 1^st for FPL points
• 1^st for BPS
• 1^st for Bonus Points
• 1^st for goals scored
• 1^st for Goal Involvements
• 1^st for Key Passes
• 1^st for Big Chances Created
• 1^st for xA
• 2^nd for Assists

He goes up against a Bournemouth side at home that has managed just one clean sheet all season—surprisingly, against the formidable Gunners. Beyond this week, Cunha also benefits from a favorable run of fixtures.

Hence Cunha should be your priority signing No.1.

João Pedro (£5.6m) – FWD, Brighton – 13.4% TSB

Among all FWDs who have played min. 120 minutes, Pedro is ranked

• 1^st for FPL points per appearance
• 1st for FPL points per start
• 1st for FPL points per 90 minutes

He faces Southampton at home, a team ranked rock bottom in EPL table.

Pedro is on penalties and has impressive fixtures.

Hence João Pedro should be high on your shopping list.

FPL Gameweek 13 Transfer Tips: Two Players to HOLD

Bryan Mbeumo (£7.9m) – MID, Brentford – 41.0% TSB

Mbeumo over the last 3 matches:

• 0 Shots on Target
• 0 Big Chances
• 0 Big Chances created
• 0.13 xG & 0.38 xA

As a result, nearly 100,000 managers have parted ways with Mbeumo this week.

However, I firmly believe the Brentford talisman deserves one final chance before Brentford’s fixtures take a challenging turn. In GW13, Mbeumo faces Leicester at home – a team which is ranked:-

• 20^th for Shots in the Box conceded
• 19^th for Big Chances conceded
• 18^th for Shots conceded
• 18^th for NPxGC
• 18th for xGC
• 18th for xCS
• 18^th for Goals Conceded
• 1 Clean Sheet

Hence, I would recommend holding on to Mbeumo for one last week.

Danny Welbeck (£6.0m) – FWD, Brighton – 21.5% TSB

Welbeck is the third most transferred-out forward this week, likely due to teammate João Pedro’s impressive form since returning from injury. However, a closer look at the underlying statistics reveals just how unfortunate Welbeck has been.

Per 90 stats	João Pedro	Welbeck
Shots	2.19	2.74
Shots in the Box	1.46	1.94
xG	0.42	0.44

Managers who already have the Englishman in their squad are advised to give Welbeck one final opportunity.

FPL Gameweek 13 Transfer Tips: Two Players to SELL

Erling Haaland (£15.1m) – FWD, Man City – 55.7% TSB

With five blanks in his last seven games, the “robot” has endured three price drops. Man City’s ongoing struggles have further diminished his appeal, making him the most transferred-out forward this week. To top it off, City faces league leaders Liverpool in GW13. Liverpool defence is ranked:

• 1^st for Clean Sheets
• 1st for Goals Conceded (fewest)
• 1st for xGC
• 1st for xCS
• 1st for NPxGC
• 1st for Shots on Target Conceded (fewest)
• 1st for Shots in the Box Conceded (fewest)

A host of budget-friendly forwards are making a strong case for inclusion in FPL squads. Considering these options, along with other factors, Haaland emerges as a clear SELL this week.

Rico Lewis (£4.8m) – DEF, Man City – 13.0% TSB

Lewis is currently the third most-picked Man City player, yet he has managed a modest 30 points this season. For context, 19 defenders who started the season at £4.5m or less have outscored him.

The absence of Rodri has left City’s defense looking vulnerable, and with a daunting trip to Anfield on the horizon, the outlook remains bleak. The upcoming fixtures don’t inspire much confidence, clean sheets are scarce, and City’s form has nosedived. Believe it or not, Manchester City have conceded 20 Big Chances over the last 3 games comfortably the worst in the league. For context, The next worst is Brighton with 13 Big chances conceded.

Manchester City Defense Numbers over the last 3 Gameweeks:

• xGC– 6.57 (Ranked 20th in the league)
• Big Chances Conceded– 20 (Ranked 20th in the league)
• Goals Conceded– 8 (Ranked 20th in the league)

Given the stronger alternatives available in his price bracket, moving him on seems like the sensible choice.
