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.

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

        7 years, 8 months ago

        You try again in a bit 😉

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

    So many Sterling owners will have Jiminez/Doherty/Camarasa points coming off their bench

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling cameo possible

    2. Eytexi
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I will have Kamara coming off the bench...

  4. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I guess its a big group of us who have Button Camarasa and Doherty smiling from the bench.

    Lets say I didnt even know Button was playing ( I would still pay Fab)
    Lets say people here suggested Doherty over AWB ( who knows may still be a good choice - the way this GW is going)
    But... Camarasa doing this in the end.. I would have never benched Richa or Digne for him before this GW... oh well

    Bring on Salah Robbo VVD and Auba ... I need huge hauls here 😛

  5. EgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hope that Kane holds his 2 BAPS

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      1

  6. Straitpizza187
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else play Kamara over Jimenez? 🙁

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

      Nope. Had a mad moment at 13.58 where I considered it but opted not to

  7. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    One guy who is 2nd in my mini league transferred Andy Carrol in for Aubameyang 😮

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

      He knows something we dont.

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

        This

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

      Lol

    3. sfsfsfe
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Could be a stroke of genious

    4. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      yeah but was it for a hit like the guy who did Vardy for Auba??

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

    I benched Jimenez twice this season. Both times vs Spurs haha

  9. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Priority for next week:
    A) Rich
    B) Pogba

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

    Think I might roll a transfer this week.

    2 FT to sell Kane and get Salah.

  11. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    FFS missed that Kane got a yellow. Really had zero luck past 3-4 gameweeks

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

      YC cost him two points with the BAP 🙁

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

        No Baps?

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

          1.

          Would have been 2 without the YC, plus not losing a point.

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Ah balls so gets zero BAPS?

  12. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Doherty 3 goals 4 assists, 5 clean sheets.
    That's 12 returns in 20 games.
    What a legend!

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

      4.4m - essential!

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Had a rough start with his own goal but has never looked back

  13. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Starting Schindler over Doherty so nearly paid off but instead the “never bench Doherty” rule bites me again!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Same and rival had Mitrovic
      Double whammy.

  14. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    The highest ranked dead team is still ticking along nicely.

    Will get Mitro off the bench.

    1. noahzark22
      • 9 Years

      This makes me cry

    2. mir
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      That is brilliant.
      Be interesting to see where my gameweek 1 team would be had i left it as it was.

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Makes you wonder why we even bother

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

    Kamara facepalm.. Mitro shouldve taken it

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

    Any highlight videos on Digne's antics at FT please?

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

    Probability of one of Sterling/Sané getting 0 minutes tomorrow?

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

      Unlikely that either won't play. Kamara first sub hopes a cameo at minimum.

  18. noahzark22
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I already hate my WC team 🙁

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

      Could be worse. I had to pull my second today!

  19. Party time
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Kamara should add Mitrovic into his fpl team

  20. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance of bonus for Mitro?

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

      Should get 1.

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years

  24. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years

  25. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    That's it. Getting rid of Bavies. Options for similar or cheaper than him?

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

      Rose

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

        He's somehow more expensive than Bavies. Yeah shocking I know.

  26. Davidinho
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Got Vardy in on WC and he gets taken off 5 mins before they get a penalty 🙁 Need Salah(C) haul and a pool cleanie now.

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Same, also took a hit to get Holebas and played him over Doherty

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

    So will this Digne thing get him banned then? Or do we just expect a fine or nothing?

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

      suspended sentence probably and communiyy service

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kicking a ball in the face of a dedicated fan? I think Digne should walk a mile in his shoes

  29. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Will Kane keep 2 BAPS?

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

      1 it seems. 7 is ok.

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

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Lots of drama today. Think Norwich- Derby takes the cake though.
