Antonio Conte makes three changes to the Spurs side that beat Crystal Palace 4-0 in Gameweek 19, with Ryan Sessegnon, Pape Sarr and Dejan Kulusevski coming in for Ivan Perisic, Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil, all of whom drop to the bench.

Richarlison, meanwhile, is also named among the substitutes after suffering an injury with Brazil during the World Cup, but Rodrigo Bentancur misses out.

      To be honest, you could just sell or bench someone like Almiron.

      I have Trippier/Almiron/Shaw/Rashford. Fixtures for all my other players are very decent.

      If you plan well & don't go with NEW/BHA players in short term, can avoid it. Although those players can of course do very well in short term.

        - FUL vs. WOL (Mitro, Andreas, Bueno)

        - BOU vs. MCI (Haaland, KDB, Cancelo)
        - TOT vs. CHE (Kepa, Kane)

        10 playable. Probably find a way to sell Amiron for an ARS player by that time.
