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.

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

            It will be long term so i think I'll do it.
            Thank you mate for concern 🙂

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Source?

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      How many games?

    4. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Are you drunk?

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

        No mate.
        He kicked the ball @ a fan.
        He was drunk i guess

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

      Even if he rises you can’t do Digne to TAA

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

        How do you know?

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

          Ha ha.

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

          He has 0.0 itb and obviously didn’t buy Digne for 5.1 so he can’t afford a straight swap as Dignes sale value will be less

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

            If he bought at 4.9 and has 0.1 ITB though....

            Doesn't sound like the case, however.

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

              Sorry I can't read. Didn't realise you'd stalked his team

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

                No worries haha, just thought I’d check before I replied

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

                  Cheer's mate 🙂

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I got him @ 5 mate.
        Just planning ahead.

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

          Oh right. CostaCoffee was right then

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

            Digne should rise tomorrow according to fplstats.
            So 5.2 means 5.1 sell value so i can 😉
            That is wishful thinking though.

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

              Ah your OP is far from clear on that matter 😀

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

                On the plus side, I had no idea he was at 5.1 already, let alone possibly rising. Waheyyyy

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

                  Ha ha.

              2. Amey
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                😀
                My bad.
                Dunk to digne this gw is big fail.

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

    Richarlison or Pogba in?

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

      Pogba.

    2. ptr88
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Richarlison.

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

        You spoke to Pellegrini?

  4. Norfolk&Chance
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Button's 9pts... on my bench.
    Doherty's 5 also.... Balbuena likely to feature?

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

      Mate last week I had almost 30 including Digne and AWB

      Tough life

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

      Balbuena won’t play

  5. french holiday
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Time for Auba to punish Kane owners....

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      And then Kane will punish Kane sellers next week, it’s a never ending circle

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

        Should be a word filter on punish ffs

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I own both

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

      Better to own them both like I do.

  6. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    We are Wolves

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

    Had Matt Ryan for months praying for a clean sheet. Now Button stops a team who scored 5 goals last round. You can't make this stuff up.

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

      This is classic FPL

  8. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Deulefeu proving to be excellent value, too bad he gets subbed often

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I need to get him back in

      • GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He won't if he keeps improvinv like he is.

    2. bialk
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Arshavin 4 goals against Liverpool...

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Iwobi is ready to replicate that

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Haha. That would be something.

    3. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why Siggy benched?

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

        Like Rich last GW, just a rest.

      2. Sylas
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Because he didn't start.

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

      No liverpool assets at all.

      All blanks please!!!

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Negative, Salah goes nuts ...

      2. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I would love a high scoring game! Salah and Auba and Robertson

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

      12 points on my bench so far, 14 on the pitch!

      1. antis0cial
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        13 on the pitch 10 on the bench. Following Digne benching last week too!

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

      Might do Kane to Aguero

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

        my plan has been to do Kane to Auba this GW...will probably go through with it.

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

          Before Kane has Cardiff away??? Wow

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

      Kane 2 baps and Jimmy 3 baponos?

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

        1 for Kane probably.

    8. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I was prob one of the first on here to turn to Camarasa as my 5th mid!
      But I reluctantly shipped him out a couple of weeks ago to change to a more heavy hitting midfield!
      In turn I sold Doherty for Periera this week just in time for Camarasa to tear him a new one 😉

        • GreennRed
          • 14 Years

        Or do you keep a tally of all the dispossessions as you're watching the games? 😀

      13. hannibalos
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Typical Premier League gameweek I see.

        Spurs concede three at home to Wolves, Leicester losing at home to Cardiff, Watford unable to beat Newcastle at home, Brighton not conceding at home.

        What's next? 1-3 score for Arsenal?

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

        Pogba or Richarlison in?

      15. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I have kamara in my team and Doherty and Jimenez on the bench...

        1. 4-4-who?
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Poor decision making then? Jiminez had a goal and assist against Spurs a few weeks ago...

      16. drughi

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

          Don't understand how anyone could spend 4m on Button and not start him at home to Everton...
