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.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (4-3-3): Button, Bernardo, Dunk, Duffy, Montoya, Stephens, Propper, Gross, March, Andone, Locadia.

Everton XI (3-4-3): Pickford, Zouma, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Coleman, Bernard, Richarlison, Walcott.

Fulham XI (4-3-3): Rico, Odoi, Mawson, Ream, Christie, Chambers, Seri, Bryan, Cairney, Mitrovic, Vietto.

Cardiff City XI (4-5-1): Etheridge, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Cunningham, Gunnarsson, Hoilett, Camarasa, Arter, Murphy, Paterson.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster, Janmaat, Cathcart, Mariappa, Masina, Hughes, Quina, Capoue, Pereyra, Deulofeu, Success.

  8. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Rich was never injured or down in this match that I have seen. People saying otherwise are either mistaken or spreading rumours

    1. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thank you for clarifying.

      Chinese whispers around here.

    5. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rumors spread like wildfire during the games

    8. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I just don't understand how some people can be this thick. It seems to amuse their microscopic brains.

  9. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Why is Kane playing CM? No Moura there

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He’s a decent cam

  10. bialk
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Son is more selfish than Walcot.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      But he can score goals.

    2. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      More than Mirallas?

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      More than Ronaldo?

      1. Rocky FPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        You really need to watch more football

  11. fedolefan

    7 years, 8 months ago

    Someone sub Alli off already.

  12. Alli 3',17',64�…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison like a blind man without his dog when Siggy benched

    1. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

  13. thischarmingman
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    What position is Kane fielded in?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      You'll have to run that one by Hotdogs for Tea.

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Forward

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      CB but he scores anyway

    5. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Third man

    6. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Pos. 10 maybe a bit lower at times

  14. Waynoo
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Kane back to deep lying playmaker role?

  15. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Sos is better than P.J.Sung at his price already?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Racist.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        how about J.King?

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      *Son
      *Prime

  16. Jealous Viper
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Have had both Vardy and Mitrovic miss unbelievable chances in recent weeks

  17. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hows Mitro looking?

    1. Plymouth
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      As usual. Getting to a few chanches, but not clear cut. Bullying the defenders

  18. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    First halves of 3pm kickoffs done.

    Got 50% of all goals and assists so far.

    1. Thick Of It
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ditto

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ive only missed out on 4 of all attacking returns

    3. teneighty
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Ah, the classic Rondon/Ritchie double up I presume?

  19. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Button CS incoming

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      On my bench..

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Could he keep Ryan out when he returns from the east?

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    More Spurs goals!

  21. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves better go kamikaze in attack in the 2nd half. This parking the bus and team shape is doing no one any good.

  22. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Why did I captain Son. Such a failure.

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
      7 years, 8 months ago

      An assist = Failure ?

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rediculous comment to make at this point

    3. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He’s got an assist already. Still half a game to go and Wolves might leave themselves exposed trying to get an equaliser.

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Has another half.

    5. Goonsquad245
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Reverse jinxing at its finest!

    6. Whats the Huth
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Let’s see what happens with salah. If he blanks. That assist won’t be a fail

  23. Thick Of It
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Just checking my cup opponent out, he has triple Liverpool defence. Worried about Arsenal blanking now

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      They will score I think

  24. JamieC180
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Question 1
    Jamie's GW15 wildcard has taken him from c.90k to to c.500k in the overall Fantasy rankings. Explain why he is a blithering idiot, with explicit reference to his inability to distinguish between a short-term fad and a season keeper.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Who the f is Jamie?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Just get Allison if you want a season keeper

    3. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Jamie is a casual.

      1. JamieC180
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        An insult from a man named Zladan is a cutting slight indeed

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      That's some fall kid.

    5. Thick Of It
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      So much is luck and second guessing. The expensive players have been hitting big scores in different weeks whilst the cheaper options have blown hot and cold. Do not be hard on yourself, plenty of time to rise up the ranks again.

  25. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I would ask Chuckie to stop talking buls....t . He even doesnt watching games.

  26. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Surely Deeney to come on at HT

    1. Plymouth
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hope so, got him in for chicha

  27. rowdog24
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Masina booked. Holebas one pointer incoming...

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      The left back position is cursed!

  28. Alli 3',17',64�…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Son dashing off to reunite North and South Korea during the break

    1. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Explain.

    2. J T
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Will assist be awarded?

  29. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone watching the EVE match? How was Digne in the first half?

    1. Niho992
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      dont watching but hope Everton will concede

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Looks great, brilliant player. Should be on pens without Siggy on the pitch too

      1. Plymouth
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        lol no

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          ??

      2. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        The new Baines

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Match in general is fairly low on quality. Digne had a few decent crosses so far.

    4. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Attacking as a wing back everything going through his side

  30. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Watching the Leicester game having captained Vardy.

    Don't think I'll get anything from him today.

    1. Alli 3',17',64�…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      :/ i have him to but no captain, prolly gonna get subebd earlish if he dotn score soon

    2. Thick Of It
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A differential pick trying to make up ground or just fancied his form/fixture?
