Sigurdsson’s benching among the headline Gameweek 20 team news

Gameweek 20 kicks off at 15:00 GMT today as five Premier League matches take place, including Spurs v Wolves and Brighton v Everton.

Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are joined by Dele Alli in the Spurs attack, while Kieran Trippier, Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez return to the home defence.

Wolves meanwhile have made three changes in the midfield/forward positions, with Ruben Neves and Ivan Cavaleiro recalled and Leander Dendoncker making his first Premier League start.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin drop to the bench for Everton’s trip to Brighton, as Richarlison is recalled up front.

Marco Silva is once again deploying a wing-back system after their 5-1 success at Turf Moor on Boxing Day.

Brighton recall Florin Andone in attack at the expense of Glenn Murray, while David Button is the £4.0m-rated goalkeeper given the nod to deputise for Mathew Ryan.

Jose Holebas, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Troy Deeney are among the substitutes as Javi Gracia makes six changes for the visit of Newcastle, who recall Christian Atsu, Ayoze Perez and Salomon Rondon.

Tom Cairney and Luciano Vietto replace Aboubakar Kamara and Andre Schurrle as Claudio Ranieri again rolls out a 3-4-3. Chris Lowe returns for Huddersfield, meanwhile.

Jamie Vardy and James Maddison both start for Leicester this afternoon, with the Foxes entertaining a Cardiff side who welcome back Callum Paterson from injury up front.

    Built a strong bench for this festive period and not a damn chance of anyone coming on! RIP Camarasa, Doherty and AWB points!

      This is the season and gameweek of bench points I feel.

      It's a cruel, cruel game mate but still plenty of chance for points this gameweek. Best of luck.

    After todays events with Digne I guess the obvious move is Digne>Doherty right or TAA

      I did Alonso->Digne. Annoying.

      Missed this, what happened with Digne?

        Nothing for
        Mitro lol

    2. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      2 for Kane...

  4. King Kohli
    • 11 Years

    Have Ryan & Button combo.

    Would you:
    1. Use a Ft to transfer Ryan out
    2. Take the price drop on the chin and use Ft for outfielders?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Probably 2, but LIV/mun coming up

      Last week went for Pogba and Ings over Martial and Zaha

      This week went for Trips and Son over Salah and Doherty... Can't get them all right it seems

      1. Deulofail

        (This is a new article)

      Only checked full time scores now so was expecting 2 points from Lossl, checked FPL to see that he saved a penalty and may get some bonus. Doherty, Jimenez and Kane all bring returns; lovely lovely jam.

    4. fedolefan

      Cardiff 8 points ahead of Huddersfield while being the two worst teams in the league on paper.

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      Bit weird how Jimenez is miles ahead in the BPS despite getting a YC isn't it?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years

        Does Mark own him?

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

            Thanks, he's doing my nut in

      3. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I guess I deserved that pain! Screw form, screw fixtures, Doherty to Periera (-4) was a shocking move on my part!!
        But I guess with Digne's antics, Digne to Doherty could be back on the cards 😉

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          What antics? :S

        2. F_Ivanovic
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Doherty has great fixtures coming up soon too.

        3. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Ha ha.
          I did dunk to digne this gw 😀
          Bad move.

          1. F_Ivanovic
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Move was fine. Just didn't pay off this week but I'm sure it will!

      4. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

        Drinking tonight, we all know what that means.....

        WILDCARD TIME

          Ha ha.

      5. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Next transfer:
        A - Snodgrass (BHA) > F.Anderson (BHA)
        B - Kamara (ars) > Jimenez (CRY) & bench Ings (che)

        1. Winning11
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          B

      6. Amey

        5 years, 3 months ago

        Wolves is the best promoted team i have seen.
        Players will be snatched from them next year i think 😀

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Like who? Organized side and Jimenez has been great but can't see any of their players good enough for a top 6 side (first team wise anyway)

        2. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          No way mate mate. We have rich ambitious owners looking at extending the stadium next season and looking at smashing into the top 6.

          It's about time people realise we are the real deal, nobody is snatching anything. In fact we will be doing the snatching.

        Mane neck massage on Lichensteiner

      8. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years

        Up to 1 point net from 5 players. Need a Pool cleanie.

      9. Zladan

        Yesszsssss come on Arsenal

      10. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        right reasons for captaining Salah - poor Arsenal defence. Just wrong player taking advantage

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Plenty of time to get in on the fun

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Jammy wildcard calls... Sold Ryan for Steele, BHA double-up, and resigned Mitrovic for one last week last night after already trading out for Ings and losing 0.1m lol

      12. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Lost 6 points with that Kane C. F--- you Harold!

        People talking about Digne getting a retrospective ban. What's he done?
