While some of us have already begun tinkering with the winter wildcards, there are five games taking place today as double gameweek 20 gets underway.

The big news is that Daniel Sturridge is not in the Chelsea squad- those overnight reports of a leg injury appear to have been true, then.

Here’s the line-ups of this afternoon’s four fixtures before Arsenal make their way to the Cottage this evening:

Blackburn: Bunn, Lowe, Samba, Hanley, Henley, Nzonzi, Formica, Dunn, Petrovic, Pedersen, Yakubu
Stoke: Sorensen; Woodgate, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson; Shotton, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington; Walters, Crouch

Wolves: Hennessey, Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Hammill, Henry, Frimpong, Forde, Edwards, Doyle.
Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Meireles, Romeu, Lampard; Ramires, Torres, Mata.

QPR: Kenny, Hill, Derry, Gabbidon, Taarabt, Faurlin, Mackie, Barton, Young, Helguson, Ferdinand
Norwich: Ruddy, Martin, Drury, Johnson, Whitbread, Holt, Jackson, Pilkington, Bennett, Lappin, Ayala.

Aston Villa: Guzan, Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Petrov, Clark, N’Zogbia, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Bent
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Dyer, Routledge, Agustien, Orlandi; Graham

    So I'm considering shipping out Van Persie for 2-3 gameweeks, and get in Berbatov. This would free up my funds to change Gower to Van Der Vart / Valencia (my other midfields: Nani, Silva, Bale, Ferguson), and upgrade a 4 point defense to a 6 point defense.

    What do you think?

    And what defensive player would you get in for Shotton?

    With the mid-season mark reached, Van Persie has been Arsenal's star player by far - if not the stand out player for the Premier League as a whole. I have commented on him and other players on my mid-season review that can be read here:

        It was indeed "insider info" when I bought him 10 or so gameweeks ago at 11.9. Many, many, many points later he is now valued at a cool 13.2. At his current value he is out-priced for many FPL gamers...

    Bale / Nani / Silva (Ferguson / Gower)
