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.

      Never bench Doherty!

        eh think benching him this fixture was OK depending on who else you have. Should never be as far down as 3rd on bench though. I had him 1st on bench ahead of Kamara and W-B and he came on for Kiko

    Palace beat City, then draw with Cardiff.

    Leicester beat City, then lose to Cardiff.

    Wildcard played, 10 from 4 so far and half of that from Son. Sold Jiminez, and transferred our Camarasa late. At least Kamara is on my bench, albeit first....

    How can anyone say "form over fixtures" given Spurs and Leicester results?

  13. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years

    Fair play button players

    Scout Picks backline an absolute minefield of point chasing.

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Blanking back 4
      Maddison pen miss
      Pereyra blank
      Kane 5 pointer

      Should be able to outscore the Scout Picks this week.

    Can I have my WC back please?

  16. cheekumz
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    not having Mitro points and losing Schindlers cleany only dropped me approx 2k OR... waaaay less than I expected. Can live with that

  17. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Patricio one more save please.

  18. shirtless

    Feel sick. Played AWB over Doherty.

    Just didn’t expect wolves to get anything 🙁

    Frustrating and everybody told me to play Doherty

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Try Foster and Kamara over Etheridge and Rondon.

  24. SkeletONv01
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Camarasa second on my bench, just after Kamara xD

  25. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Doherty could be close to a BAP if Kane's BPS drops enough!

  26. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    BUMBACLAAT

  27. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mitro should be good for a BAP

  28. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Camarassa coming on for Chicharito. Some luck at last.

  29. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
