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.

    Button Camarasa Doherty... on my bench

    If it wasnt so funny I would cry

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch

    2. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Button on bench too...but I started Steele 🙂

    3. Space Cadete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto. And Holebas and Kamara played ahead of them for me. Facepalm

  2. CostaCoffee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    11pts -4 after bonus from 5 players. 22 from 3 on bench

  3. fenixri
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Damn, I would rather Kamara scores that pen (dont own him) than losing cs in last minute. Oh well

  4. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Why my gut is soo stupid and told me to play Kmara over Jimenez?

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wasn't a bad shout. Just unlucky.

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 2 months ago

        100% was the right call. No-one you should be taking advice from would ever say Wolves would beat Spurs at Wembley.

        By the same token, Fulham were at home against one of the worst Premier League teams EVER and Kamara even took a pen!

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Wolves don't need to win for Jimenez to score

    3. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Kane won’t get BAPs now surely, right?

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

        Jammy Button-cleanie for the lols.

        Too bad the c*ck-blocking wasters Sigurdsson & Holebas came on to leave Doherty's points on the bench.

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

      • SirStevieG
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Jiminez and Dunk on bench really hurts.

        1. Lionel Ronaldo
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Karma for calling Jiménez 'Jiminez'.
