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.

        Ah. Camarassa to save the gameweek.

  4. Davido989

    And it finishes here at Wembley, Spurs nil Wolves one. A last minute winner from Matt Doherty stuns Spurs.

    1. Silecro

      Kane hatty in first 15 minutes of the game

        Pls correct #Son

    2. Jindaljain

      Even I m assuming this but jiminez goal and Doherty assist would help both of us..

  6. Arteta

    Can't wait for Liverpool - Arsenal even though will probably destroy us.
    Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Koscielny and Kolasinac are gonna get terrorised...

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Apparently Mustafi is available. So instead of 3 goals, it'll probably be 5.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Real pace at the back for Arsenal

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      IMO, Arsenal should play:

      Leno
      Maitland-Niles Mustafi Sokratis Kolasinac
      Ramsey Torreira Xhaka Guendouzi Iwobi
      Lacazette

      To break the Liverpool defence you need runners from midfield, because whoever plays up front will be in VVD's pocket. Mkhi, would be better than Iwobi, but is injured. Bring on Auba for Iwobi after 60 mins for extra threat. The three in midfield gives protection to the CBs and lets Kola and Maitland-Niles get forward.

      1. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with this.

  7. Hotdogs for Tea

      The January wildcard is finally here, anyone used theirs in January and still done well without it during the DGWs or must you simply save it for then?

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Last season the dgw players did not deliver. 2 seasons ago the dgw players delivered, as if on cue

        1. mixology
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          2 years ago I played second Wildcarder right away- went from like 400 k to eventually a 15k finish but that was the year everyone’s dgw Wildcard players came through. Last season saving wc for dgw didn’t work out and I may have benefited from playing it earlier (as would other fpl managers). Hope that helps

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            This helps, i'm likely playing it early again and having the success it's brought me from using it early in the past.
            Oh, thanks for your reply as well from the other day mate, i replied too slowly haha, appreciate it 🙂

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years

        If you aren't happy with your team now a WC ain't going to fix it.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Has been lately. Revelling in the new role.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Usually only when Moura plays

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Consistent returns.

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Because he scores goals

    8. La Roja
      • 14 Years

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years

    16. Doctor Evil
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Would you rather have Shaw or Lovern in your team? I have no other Liverpool defence but not sure how often Lovern plays.

      My current team is

      Fab/Button
      Alonso/Digne/Shaw/Doherty/WanB
      Salah/Anderson/Hazard/Richarlison/Pogba
      Kane/Ings/Quarner

    17. Jindaljain

      4. Zladan

        Legally cannot show 3pm kickoffs on a Saturday

    19. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t have the numbers to back it up but I feel that Kane’s hauls will come once son goes away.

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Moura is bad for him

        1. mixology
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Agree with that also

    20. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kane fouled just outside the box. Shooting range.

    21. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I got a bad feeling about this gameweek already. Couldn't fit very optimal lineup, too many players in my lineup playing each other and not sure Kane(c) was the right option to take. Oh well, can't score big every gameweek.
