    The Premier League returns this weekend following the international break. Thankfully, that also means the return of Fantasy Premier League.

    With Eddie Howe, Steven Gerrard and Dean Smith set to take charge of their new clubs for the very first time, we are set for a thrilling weekend of action.

    Here are the Gameweek 12 fixtures.

    • Leicester vs. Chelsea
    • Newcastle vs. Brentford
    • Burnley vs. Crystal Palace
    • Aston Villa vs. Brighton
    • Watford vs. Man Utd
    • Wolves vs. West Ham
    • Norwich vs. Southampton
    • Liverpool vs. Arsenal
    • Man City vs. Everton
    • Tottenham vs. Leeds

     

    Leicester and Chelsea kick off the action on Saturday lunchtime before Liverpool and Arsenal face off at Anfield in what promises to be a tasty clash.

    Let’s get stuck into the top FPL picks for Gameweek 12.

    Goalkeepers

    Edouard Mendy (Chelsea) and Ederson (Man City) are undoubtedly the best premium picks when it comes to goalkeepers. Both Mendy and Ederson have kept six clean sheets in ten Premier League games this season.

    Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) is another top option. The youngster made his England debut earlier this weekend and has kept five clean sheets in eight Premier League matches this term.

    Alex McCarthy (Southampton), Vicente Guaita (Crystal Palace) and David De Gea (Man Utd) all have favorable fixtures in Gameweek 12.

    Defenders

    Joao Cancelo (Man City) was the highest-scoring defender in the previous round. He claimed an assist and a clean sheet last time out, notching 14 points as a result.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) and Reece James (Chelsea) are just behind Cancelo in the overall standings.

    If you’re looking for a budget/different defender for Gameweek 12, Rico Henry (Brentford), Jan Bednarek (Southampton) and Mark Guehi (Crystal Palace) are all worth considering.

    Midfielders

    Pablo Fornals (West Ham) picked up more points than any other midfielder in Gameweek 11. Team-mates Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) and Said Benrahma (West Ham) have impressed this season, too.

    In terms of form, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) Maxwell Cornet (Burnley), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal) and Phil Foden (Man City) are the top five midfielders in the game.

    Solid differential midfielders include Leandro Trossard (Brighton), Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea) and Ilkay Gundogan (Man City).

    Forwards

    Michail Antonio (West Ham) is officially the highest-scoring forward in FPL. The Jamaican international – who scored for his country in midweek – has bagged six goals and three assists in ten Premier League outings.

    Josh King (Watford), Rodrigo (Leeds), Raul Jimenez (Wolves) and Adam Armstrong (Southampton) are among the most in-form forwards in the game right now.

    If you own Jamie Vardy (Leicester), it could be time to sell. The veteran striker has blanked in the last three Gameweeks and comes up Chelsea this weekend. Let’s not forget the Blues boast the best defensive record in the league.
