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

    Question about WC please...

    " The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (2 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (4 Feb 11:30); as the January wildcard isn't available until after the Gameweek 20 deadline, the earliest these transfers will be active is Gameweek 21. "

    Is it right that I will still be able to use WC after deadline of Gw23 (31 Jan 19:30) and able to make unlimited transfers until 4 Feb 11:29 ?

      I sold RVP to bring in ade and Baines for the DGW. Would love to have him back but I bought at 11.9 and sold at 13.2 so will just go for Aguero for the time being and keep my salary options open. It is quite enjoyable to have such an extra long game week for the wildcard, I must say.

      Still do not feel good about going without RVP but just feel that January might not be a great month for him.

      He was support striker until Frei came on and then he moved back into midfield, allowing Frei a more attacking role.

      I wouldn't get Ruiz, listed as a striker. Not a striker.

      even in midfield dembele's roaming allows dempsey to get forward enough to be worth investment imo. the second dembele got injured and i wouldn't be interested in dempsey, unless of course he was the one to replace dembele

    Could do with the United game being cancelled so I can get Ward and Big Bad Bradley Johnson roaring off my bench this week.

    P.S. I'm calling it now, I'm scoring 100+ this week and finally breaking into the top 100k.

    Has there been any news on sturridges injury, should he be back for next week?
    Tell me it's not worth to do sturridge for yakubu, at least not yet.
