The Boxing Day programme continues in earnest with another six afternoon matches.

Stamford Bridge is likely to be the venue under the microscope for Fantasy managers, as Chelsea play host to Brighton.

The Blues boast two of the top captain selections for Gameweek 20 in Alvaro Morata – backed by 188,000 (3.4%) and Eden Hazard, who has the support of 133,000 (2.4%). Marcos Alonso will also go into this encounter with 93,000+ new owners and in 19.5% of squads, although Chelsea’s most popular signing heading into today’s deadline – Andreas Christensen brought in by 95,000+ – misses out through illness according to the club.

Another of the Gameweek’s big signings – Huddersfield Town’s Laurent Depoitre – also sits out as he makes way for Steve Mounie’s return in attack. The Belgian was signed by 200,000+ ahead of the clash with Stoke City but starts the match on the bench.

At Old Trafford, Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts his first Premier League match of the campaign as Jesse Lingard makes way. Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku – backed by 43,000+ and 752,000+ Gameweek captaincies – are both named in Jose Mourinho’s line-up, as is Phil Jones in defence.

Meanwhile, at Vicarage Road, Richarlison looks likely to be leading the Watford attack against Leicester City. Sold by 90,000+ ahead of Gameweek 20, the Brazilian is in the starting line-up while Andre Gray drops to the bench and Troy Deeney continues his suspension. Marvin Zeegelaar returns for the Hornets at left-back as Jose Holebas drops out.

Finally, Everton take on West Brom at The Hawthorns without Wayne Rooney in the starting XI once again. The veteran striker misses out through illness, with Yannick Bolasie – a 6.4 midfield option – earning a first start of the season.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    crap advice by someone on here. use the money for best 11 and let the bench with those 4.0 below. crap.. really crap

    1. VFORVANDETA

      Use your advice next time.

      1. navin

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis

      Yea, that’s not great advice over the xmas period. The bench makes al the difference with rotation.

      Most on here advise on having a bench. That's on you 😛

      when there are lots of fixtures close together you need a bench that you can rely on

      Not sure if your new to this game. But this is the time of year where you need a solid bench who play regularly. The only way possible get this is to have a balanced team.

      Can't have a balanced team if you spunk your money of aguero, kane, jesus, KDB, Hazard, ota, DDG.

      You gotta find the bargains like Ward etc

      Unless you're giving out your FPL password, you are responsible for your team.

    Where's Mariappa? And what a waste of a transfer Depoitre was!

  17. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did people expect clean sheets from West ham?

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No... I expected one from Man I though

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Always expect clean sheets

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don't understand how West Ham defenders have been so popular on here lately.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Good replacements after the Watford bandwagon ended in tears 😆

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They've overperformed so far. Another red herring.

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If they get CS vs Arsenal and Chelsea you sort of expect it vs Bournemouth

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        This

  18. Jafooli

    Now need Jones & Ogbonny goals to save my GW....

  19. Henning
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If I decide to get rid of de Gea, who should i get? Have Elliot.

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kneejerktastic

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not really, United are looking poor for CS lately and at that price DDG isn’t such a great asset.

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          But you know DDG will be top of the goalkeepers table for points at the end of the season

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lloris

    3. Henning
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have Jones and dont think de Gea is worth the money at the moment.

  20. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Well, no clean sheets for me today then.

    Also, pull your finger out Vardy

  21. Chucky
    • 12 Years
