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.

    Rich limping a bit but back on

    Holding his ankle.

    Not great news for next GW if it's bruised etc.

      he's fine, he's just being grumpy because the ref isn't booking the brighton players

      If he's hurt himself it might be from the diving

        He did roll his ankle as he went to offload a pass.

    Somebody wake me up when something happens! Not a good day for lack of goals when I have no defenders playing!

    Fab/4.0 goalie combo was nice I never had any points on my bench so I always picked the right goalie to play. Now I've got Button in and he will be laugh at me of my bench with his CS..

    Rondon has to be a contender with his current form, surely?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Rafa using him selectively.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      But he's Rondon

  10. Differentiator

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years

  11. Royal5
    • 12 Years

    Trippier terrible passing continues

  12. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Playing Doherty over Dunk is not working out well.

  13. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Mina yc

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Teeny weeny Deeney on for a cameo?

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Adama struggling & coming off. Their main threat, Spurs CS looking very likely.

  16. Ribus
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Kane and Son.

    1. EgyptianKing
      • 5 Years

  17. WVA

    Trippier has played so badly all season

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He has been pretty good actually

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Seriously? He has been awful, defended awfully, given away penalties, gives the ball away too much etc

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Defensive abilities are pretty irrelevant for FPL - see also Marcos Alonso

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Hence why I said played and not has been bad for FPL points
