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.

        I own Jimenez, but can't figure out how he's on for max

  2. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Not too bad as a Vardy captainer with Kane getting 6-7 points.

    I got off easy on that one.

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It's not Kane you have to worry about now.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

  13. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Last GW: Played Doherty, benched Digne.
    This GW: Doherty last on bench, played Digne
    I sincereky s**k at this game

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      exact same as are many others

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same. And I benched AWB this week and Jiminez this week.

      We have good squads so don’t worry bout it

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    At least I started one of the Wolves boys!

    Probably won't get Doh off the bench (1st sub), but less painful than Digne's 17 last week at least

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      5 points is bareable. 17 = mentally scarred

      1. 1314
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I benched Digne last gw, luckily he came in for Martial xD

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

    Leicester are so unpredictable. Beat City least week followed by a defeat to Cardiff.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      don't forget they beat chelsea before city aswell

    2. DLL18
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      And they beat Chelsea the week before.

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

      Will be poor FPL assets for rest of the season too. Nothing to play for

  16. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully Kamara stays on my bench 😀

  17. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Jiminez max BAP's.

  18. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Digne possible retrospective red card

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I hope so he's been my most painful signing ever

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        fingers crossed. Why?

    3. beetlejuice
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who was going to get the assist if Kamara did not miss?

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        No one. Kamara would have got it if anyone else scored the pen.

        1. beetlejuice
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks

    4. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Played Kamara over Jimenez lol @ me

    5. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Called it that Wolves would frustrate Spurs, but wow! What a great team man.

    6. Monya Meow Meow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This game called FPL is a troll.

      Benched Digne & Holebas, they get points. Play them, they fail.

      Play Doh & Jim, they fail. Benched them, they get points.

    7. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This games is the most SPURSSSSSSSYYthing ever haha. Great start, Kane looks a world beater, but they f it up at the latter stages and get nothing for their troubles.

    8. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kamara -1 😮

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

        First on my bench, Sane better play!

        1. Woy_is_back
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He will atleast get a cameo

    9. Plymouth
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Camarasa first sub. Please dont play one of Sané / Sterling

    10. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Plenty with Doherty and jimmy firmly planted on bench with no rotation in sight!

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe this is how the city owners are rewarded 😉

    11. Bavarian
      • 8 Years

      • 16 Years

      • 9 Years

      Benched Doh.

      Luckily Jimenez started
