WhoScored.com have teamed up Football Fanager to offer you the chance to pit your wits against our pundits. The exciting new fantasy football platform allows you to pick a brand new XI every week and offers the chance to win some great prizes, even when competing in a free-to-join league like ours.
Finish on top of the pile on the Whoscored.com League in game week 13 and you’ll win a PS4 or Xbox One along with a copy of FIFA 15. You can read more on how to play here, though it really is very simple, and we’re even giving you a helping hand with our tips ahead of the upcoming round of Premier League fixtures.
Brad Guzan (Aston Villa)
Burnley have scored just 4 goals in 6 home matches this season, while no team have kept more clean sheets on the road than Aston Villa. Guzan, meanwhile, was in heroic form on the Villans’ last away day, earning a rating of 8.46 from WhoScored.com having produced 5 saves to keep West Ham at bay.
Calum Chambers (Arsenal)
Arsenal have conceded just 2 goals in their last 4 league meetings with West Brom and are unbeaten at the Hawthorns since 2005. The Gunners have let in fewer goals on the road this season (7) than at home and Chambers has a goal and an assist to his name in his last 3 league appearances.
Ashley Williams (Swansea)
Swansea host Palace having lost just one home match all season, with only two sides conceding fewer goals in front of their own fans in the league (4). The Eagles, meanwhile, have netted just once in their last 6 meetings with the Swans and Williams has earned the highest rating of any defender for the Welsh outfit from WhoScored.com (7.17).
Phil Jagielka (Everton)
Only Southampton have a better defensive record on the road this season than Everton (7 conceded), who travel to face a Spurs side that have been unconvincing of late. Pochettino's men have scored just 3 in their last 5 league matches at White Hart Lane, with Jagielka netting when the two met in North London in 2013.
Paul Dummett (Newcastle)
It's common knowledge that Newcastle have now won 5 league matches on the bounce but it has perhaps been a little overlooked that they've conceded just once in that run. The form of youth graduate Dummett has been key in that success and the Magpies have let in just 2 goals in their last 5 meetings with West Ham.

The form of youth graduate Dummett has been key in that success and the Magpies have let in just 2 goals in their last 5 meetings with West Ham.
Mauricio Isla (QPR)
QPR host a Leicester side that haven't scored in 5 matches, and just once away from home all season. In the last 5 meetings between the two one of the sides has won without conceding and the home team may well be favourite to do so again, with Isla picking up an assist in his last league appearance for the club.
Cesc Fàbregas (Chelsea)
The Spaniard picked up his 10th assist in the Premier League this season last time out - 3 more than any other player - with Chelsea making the trip to face an error-prone Sunderland side. Fabregas has scored more goals against the Black Cats than any other English team (4), with 3 of those coming in 4 appearances at the Stadium of Light.
Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
It's hard to know what you're going to get from the Sunderland defence but if they have one of their off days then Hazard is the sort of player that could wreak havoc against them. Chelsea have scored 19 goals in their last 6 visits to Wearside in the Premier League, with the Belgian netting a brace in the most recent of those.
Jonathan Walters (Stoke)
The Republic of Ireland international has repaid Mark Hughes’ faith since returning to the Stoke line-up, scoring 3 and assisting 1 goal in his last 5 league appearances. Walters has also scored 3 goals in his last 3 matches against Liverpool, who are leaking goals of late, while Stoke - defeated by Burnley last weekend - haven't lost back-to-back league matches since January.
Sergio Agüero (Manchester City)
He may have been a little subdued last weekend but Sergio Aguero has scored in 5 of his 6 league away matches this season as City gear up to face high-flying Southampton. With Pellegrini's men not in action until Sunday and the possibility of switching captain after Saturday's matches, the Premier League's top scorer - with 12 goals in as many appearances - may be a good man to bank double points on having scored in the corresponding fixture last season.
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Perhaps the easiest pick of all this week, and subsequently a great choice for your captain on Saturday, Wayne Rooney comes into the match against Hull in confident mood. The Tigers have won just 1 of their last 11 league matches and Rooney has scored in three successive games for club and country, as well as notching 6 times in his last 3 appearances against Steve Bruce's men.
