FPL Gameweek 13 looks set to provide the toughest captaincy decision of the season so far as go-to picks Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah face off in the opening Premier League fixture of the weekend.

Manchester City's clash with Liverpool is Saturday's early fixture and with so many potential assets in action, knowing who to hand the captain's armband to could be the difference between high and low scores this gameweek.

We've picked out the top options for FPL Gameweek 13 with the help of Fantasy Football Hub's powerful AI Points Predictions tool.

Son Heung-min

  • Fixture: Aston Villa (H); Predicted Points: 7.3

For the first time this season, a player other than Erling Haaland tops the points predictions metric, only further underlining the challenge of picking the best asset to captain this week.

Ordinarily, backing out of position Son Heung-min would be the easy choice given he's scored eight league goals this season. However, the injury to James Maddison has proved to be a huge loss for Spurs, especially in defeat at Wolves with the lack of creativity leaving Son without a shot on target.

Erling Haaland

  • Fixture: Liverpool (H); Predicted Points: 6.6

Erling Haaland is currently yellow flagged in FPL which won't help his points prediction but he's expected to be fit for Man City's big clash with Liverpool and is likely to be my captain once again this weekend.

The Norwegian is back in form with five goals and two assists in the last four gameweeks and can be considered fixture proof. He is still waiting for his first Premier League goal against Liverpool, having missed this fixture last season due to injury, but the home tie should suit him.

Mohamed Salah

  • Fixture: Manchester City (A); Predicted Points: 5.7

Mohamed Salah is having one of his best starts to a Premier League season with ten goals and four assists in the opening 12 gameweeks. He is the top points scorer in the game so far, rarely misses a minute and has five goals in the last four gameweeks.

We can also view Salah as a player who is fixture proof, but the away game makes this one a little more challenging. Salah has seven goals and three assists in 12 Premier League games against Man City, scoring home and away against them last campaign.
