FPl gameweek 13 tips and team of the week: Joao Pedro, Marcus Rashford and Matheus Cunha come in

Marcus Rashford, Man Utd, £6.9m – Home of Everton

Yes, I'm playing with fire a bit and going for the treble against Manchester United for the second time in three weeks, but it paid off against Leicester.

If Rashford will play as an out-of-position striker in this new United lineup, then that makes him a viable FPL option.

This game could be a Sean Dyche defensive classic, but an early goal should help United score a few goals.

Bukayo Saka, Arsenal, £10.2m – away to West Ham

Is Saka a regular captaincy option? Only Three double-digit returns this season say no.

Is Saka an excellent, reliable FPL asset? Yes – he is certainly the best striker option for the Gunners.

The England midfielder's performances against Forest last week and in the Champions League at Sporting on Tuesday were sensational and he is getting going again after a quiet few weeks.

Saka tops almost every Arsenal attacking statistic. What I like best are the 29 shots in the penalty area – more than two per game.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.9m – Home of Aston Villa

Three times in a row for Palmer. Before that, seven goals and five assists in nine games.

He is too involved in Chelsea's attacking play for this poor run to continue, and Villa have conceded ten goals in their last three games.

Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford, £7.9m – Home of Leicester City

It's a week of betting on games, past performances and form, with Mbeumo only returning once in his last three games.

But the Cameroon striker has been brilliant this season and faces a Leicester side that is weak at the back.

You'd be right to consider a move for Mbeumo, who had a terrible game for Brentford over Christmas, but he gets another game in this team of the week.

James Maddison, Spurs, £7.6m – home of Fulham

Maddison has been an enigma this season. Early substitutions, appearances on the bench in exciting home games and then he scored two goals at the Etihad Stadium.

The England international is fifth on the midfield top scorers list with 68 points and Ange Postecoglou will certainly use him in a home game against Fulham, where Spurs should come out on top.

With over six points per start this season, Maddison is worth a try.
