3pm kick-off team news: Gallagher, Livramento and Pukki miss out

The dust of Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has barely settled but we’re already up and running for Gameweek 20, with three matches kicking-off at 15:00 GMT: Crystal Palace v Norwich City, Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur and Watford v West Ham United.

At Selhurst Park, Conor Gallagher is absent for the home side, with Jack Butland, James Tomkins and the suspended Wilfried Zaha also dropping out for Vicente Guaita, Marc Guehi, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Norwich – who have scored just eight league goals all season – have made six changes from their Gameweek 19 defeat to Arsenal, with Sam Byram, Dimitris Giannoulis, Jacob Sorensen, Pierre Lees-Melou, Christos Tzolis and Adam Idah coming in for Max Aarons, Brandon Williams, Ozan Kabak, Kieran Dowell, Joshua Sargent and Teemu Pukki.

Elsewhere, Ralph Hasenhuttl makes six changes, with Shane Long and Adam Armstrong paired up front together. That means Armando Broja is a substitute, while Tino Livramento misses out altogether with fluid in his knee.

For Spurs, they make three changes from their 3-0 Boxing Day win over Palace. In come Ben Davies, Harry Winks and Dele Alli, with Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp and Lucas Moura all dropping to the bench.

Claudio Ranieri, meanwhile, makes three changes for Watford’s first game since December 10th, as Francisco Sierralta, Adam Masina and Ozan Tufan replace William Troost-Ekong, Jeremy Ngakia and Tom Cleverley.

Their opponents, West Ham United, also make changes. Captain Declan Rice is suspended, so Mark Noble makes a rare start in midfield, with Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini and Said Benrahma lining up behind Michail Antonio in David Moyes’ usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Son (C) scored 26 over two GWs

    Can Salah + whoever you captained last week match?

    11 needed for me since I had Ronaldo :mrgreen:

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Salah could waltz out on to the pitch, wait for the whistle to blow and walk off smoking a cigar & he’ll have matched Ronaldo 🙁

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry, Son bumped up to 1 bonus all of a sudden. Add 2 to his score.

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Salah blank incoming

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Or a hat trick…..of wrongly disallowed goals like Kane’s today

  10. Neto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Salah non-owners, are your couches big enough?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Had next months rent on a hattrick

      1. One More Hit

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I fancy some sado-masochism today….

      I’m gunna watch all of Salah’s goals & watch the zero’s in my OR grow on live FPL

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Points left behind by Bowen too 🙁

    What could have been...

  12. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Son getting a bonus point? :O

  13. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    WC time!

    Che,City,Ars,Salah out

  14. Qaiss

    2 years, 3 months ago

    Disallowing that second Spurs goal has cost me 12 points with Kane captain.

    VAR clearly doesn’t own him on FPL. I hate Spurs but that’s a disgrace, decisions like that weren’t meant to be happening this season.

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      14 actually
      He would’ve gained 7 points
      So 7*2,and I’m on the same boat as well as a Kane capper it’s extremely frustrating.

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed, I’m disgusted by it, they change the rules and can’t stick by them themselves

    3. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It’s a disgrace that it was even up for debate.

      Clear and obvious offside. The only shock is the refs bothering to give a correct decision to saints. Happens rarely

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        LOL. You've done nothing but cry all day, guarantee if it was the other day you'd be saying it was too tight to call. But your team barely attacked except for the last minute.

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      wasn't a disgrace, offside is offside but still shite as a Kane captainer, oh well

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        “Decisions like that weren’t meant to be happening this season”

        The PL said they will give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker for very close calls like that one. They did all that could to disallow that goal. And as a Gooner I’m glad they dropped points but if that happens against your team, you’ll say it’s completely unfair.

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          They continue to disallow goals like that. Its absolutely abysmal.

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            They stopped doing it at the start of the season. And now they’ve started it again. A bitter Ronaldo owner at VAR probably disallowed it!

  15. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Can't get on FPL live, what's top 10k average?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      16

      1. BIG TONES

        Merci

  16. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    WTF why Kane BAPs so low?
    I swear EVERYTIME a striker scores in a score draw they get max bonus usually

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Misses.

      Son created a lot.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Didn’t miss that many chances, maybe a couple - shot on target for the second disallowed goal too

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He's deemed offside for that 'goal'.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Joke

    2. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lost all his bonus now ffs.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      offside a lot, I think the header at the end off target might have registered as a big chance missed? dropped from 28 to 24 after it

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Irony being at least 2 of those offsides were wrong

  17. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    How was that Kane goal offside?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Shoulder blade.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It was his pointing arm

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It was ruled offside

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Horizontal lines

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Or diagonal even. LOL

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably, was a bad angle on telly.

    5. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Kane was closer to the goal than the second defender....

  18. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Salah King to Bowen Ronaldo with Son(C) could work out....

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn’t touch Ronaldo with a mile long stick

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Hattrick v Burnley incoming

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

      I have the same 3, not looking bad so far. Salah more than capable of hauling though as we know.

  19. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    25 from 3. Just need Salah blank and it’s a good week

    1. FPL_ UP_Down
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully he can rest for Chelsea game

  20. Pep Roulette

    Can anyone tell me which teams might have double gameweek this weekend?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Team not in the CC SF have a chance...

    2. g40steve

      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ben Crellin

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

      Villa potentially

  21. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Capping Son was, as the kids say, good decision bad outcome. 12 points not the worst, but gonna need a huge sofa before the Liverpool game now.

  22. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Why si Kouyate 2nd on BAPS?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      CS

      1. EDUARDO DA SILVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        But was nowhere near baps 15 min before end of the game, guehi was on 28.
        Btw i own Kouyate.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Listed as defender and assist.

  23. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Pool fan but wanting Salah to blank has got to be up there with one of the worst feelings…

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You aint no fan.

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Trent and Jota hat-tricks?

  24. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years

    First keeper CS since GW8, doing a little dance

  25. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

  26. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Mount➡️Maddison(c) at wk end?

    Especially Salah having Chelsea.

  27. dansmusen
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Gallagher over Bowen and 5 minutes later seeing gallagher was out...that hurt (not doing hits for players i just brought in but was tempted)

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saw the Gallagher Covud rumours, but also Bowen not predicted in team news ., so didn't take the hit. Just one more decision (or lack thereof ) that turned out wrong

  28. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    When are we expecting the DGW 21/22 to be announced?

  29. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen is my first sub. Any of the following unlikely to play?He hopes….

    Dias/TAA/Cancelo/James/Alonso
    Jota/Mount/Foden

    Nearly played him over Alonso but hey ho..

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Always a chance when you've got Party Boy

  30. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    20 from 4, KDB cap to go tomorrow, Jota & Trent in the Leicester game, a Jota haul & Salah blank would be perfect. (Wishful thinking I know)

    1. sulldaddy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Im in about same boat and hopes.
