FPL Gameweek 12 preview: News, injuries, suspensions, fixtures and picks

The Premier League is back after the final international break of 2024 and that means Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is back too.

Before the break, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes was the pick of the bunch, scoring 17 points in their 3-0 win over Leicester City, with Mohamed Salah netting 14 points during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Aston Villa and Yoane Wissa scoring 13 points in Brentford's 3-2 win against Bournemouth.

Another weekend means another FPL Gameweek and for each one, we'll be keeping you up-to-date with all the latest that's going on, including transfers while the windows are open, injury news, suspensions, who's playing who and our own FPL picks and transfers too.

Here's indy100's preview for FPL Gameweek 12.

FPL injuries

Each Gameweek, this is a comprehensive guide to players who are out or are a doubt for each club in the order they appear for their club in FPL.

If they have a knock and a chance of playing, this will be reflected (if they have a 75 per cent chance of playing, the number will be by their name in brackets, the same for 50 per cent chance and so on), otherwise they are ruled out.
