The captaincy appeal of Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) and Bruno Fernandes (£10.9m) looks set to rise for Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League.

Liverpool’s home encounter with Tottenham Hotspur means the three top-scoring players in FPL - Harry Kane (£10.9m), Son Heung-min (£9.6m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) - will go head-to-head.

Certainly, all three have the form to profit at Anfield on Wednesday.

Kane and Salah have each blanked just twice this season, while Son’s six sets of double-figure hauls are more than any other player.

Enticing fixtures

Nonetheless, De Bruyne and Fernandes have far more favourable midweek matches.

Manchester City’s playmaker has a home match against West Bromwich Albion, having supplied double-figure hauls in each of his last two home outings.

De Bruyne has produced 17 shots in the last four Gameweeks, joint-top among all players in FPL.

Fernandes, meanwhile, has returned double-figures in each of his four away starts.

The Manchester United midfielder has averaged 11.2 points per match (ppm) on the road ahead of his visit to Sheffield United.

And his team-mate Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) has produced returns in all five of the Red Devils’ road trips, averaging 7.6 ppm.

Look elsewhere?

Jack Grealish (£7.8m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) offer explosive alternatives at home against Burnley and Everton respectively.

Aston Villa’s Grealish has returned hauls of 24 and 15 points over five appearances at Villa Park.

Vardy has supplied four double-figure scores over his 10 starts for Leicester City this season, including Sunday's 13-point return at home against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Remember the Gameweek 13 deadline is at 16:30 GMT on Tuesday 15 December.
