Top 5 best midfielders to buy in Fantasy Premier League GW13
Rank | Player | Team | Price | Points | GW13 Opponents |
1 | Mo Salah | Liverpool | £13.1m | 120 points | Manchester City |
2 | Marcus Rashford | Manchester United | £6.9m | 38 points | Ipswich Town |
3 | James Maddison | Tottenham Hotspur | £7.5m | 66 points | Fulham |
4 | Bryan Mbeumo | Brentford | £7.9m | 79 points | Leicester City |
5 | Koaru Mitoma | Brighton & Hove Albion | £6.4m | 43 points | Southampton |
5. Koaru Mitoma – Brighton | 43 points | £6.4m
Brighton is in good form and they are playing some really nice football at the moment. Their frontline is filled with exciting players and it is led by Koaru Mitoma. The Japanese winger has seen his stock fall of late from what it was a couple of seasons ago. However, he has been really impressive of late and could turn into an exciting differential option for Fantasy Premier League managers.
At his best, Mitoma still remains devastating, racking up 5 goals contributions this season so far. Brighton take on promoted side Southampton this weekend and Mitoma for one will be looking to trouble the Saints in this one. Whether the Seagulls fresh attacking system and quartet can bring the best out of him again remains to be seen.

4. Bryan Mbeumo – Brentford | 79 points | £7.9m
Brentford are having a weird season and the fact is that they have been outstanding at home at the GTech stadium but really poor away from home. This weekend however, they face Leicester City at home. The Foxes have found the Premier League difficult and especially away from home. Bryan Mbeumo is the talisman for the Bees and his own form also shows this. He has 8 goals and 1 assist so far this season but the catch is that nearly all of them have come in home games. While that does suit him and managers who own him very well this weekend, with tougher fixtures coming, it might be a short term signing.
3. James Maddison – Tottenham Hotspur | 66 points | £7.5m
James Maddison is coming off a fantastic weekend, one that will give him all the confidence on the planet. He was involved heavily as Spurs dismantled Manchester City 4-0. The creative midfielder is a streaky player, meaning he isn’t always the most consistent footballer, but when he is on song, he is among the very best the Premier League has to offer. However, the record speaks for himself, with 5 goals and 3 assists in the league. This weekend, Spurs take on a Fulham side who were torn apart last week by Wolves. Maddison could well have another big week this time around.
2. Marcus Rashford – Manchester United | 38 points | £6.9m
Marcus Rashford is at a very crucial juncture of his Manchester United or even footballing career. All the credit he would have built up in the bank, would have exhausted by now. Fans are now running out of patience with him. With new manager Ruben Amorim in, Rashford looks like he has become the first choice striker. He even scored against Ipswich Town. He is amongst the most criticised players in the Premier League right now and it will be interesting to see what he can do this weekend against Everton.
1. Mo Salah – Liverpool | 120 points | £13.1m
Mo Salah has the most points in Fantasy Premier League so far this season and he is also the only player to cross the 100 points mark this season. He delivers week in week out and his last 5 games have brought big hauls. Even last weekend, he was the match winner against Southampton. He has 10 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League this season already, more goal contributions than anyone else in the league. Liverpool’s game this weekend is against big rivals Manchester City, who have lost 5 in a row. Salah could make their situation much worse.
Gameweek 13 of the Fantasy Premier League promises yet more action. Manchester City take on Liverpool as they look to improve their massively hit form as they have lost 5 in a row, at the time of writing. Chelsea who have had a decent start to season take on Aston Villa in another interesting fixture.
The deadline for Gameweek 13 is November 30th.
