The first match of Double Gameweek 20 takes place at Villa Park, where Aston Villa host Leeds United in the 20:00 GMT kick-off.

Both teams have made one change from their Gameweek 19 encounters, with the home side able to recall Jacob Ramsey (£5.2m) after his recovery from a hamstring problem. He comes in for groin injury victim Matty Cash (£4.6m).

New £13.2m left-back Alex Moreno (£4.5m) is named on Unai Emery’s bench, just like Danny Ings (£6.4m) and Philippe Coutinho (£6.6m). That means cheap midfielder Leon Bailey (£4.5m) starts up front for the fourth successive league match.

Visitors Leeds lost Crysencio Summerville (£4.3m) to an ankle injury picked up during their FA Cup tie at Cardiff City. He makes way for Jack Harrison (£5.8m).

New signing Max Wober (£4.5m) is a substitute and sat with him is Patrick Bamford (£7.2m), who has been out since Gameweek 14.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo (£6.3m) is this season’s first FPL midfielder to reach ten league goals and will be looking to score his 11th.

GAMEWEEK 20 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; A Young, Konsa, Mings, Digne; J Ramsey, Kamara, Douglas Luiz, Buendia; Bailey, Watkins

Subs: Olsen, Alex Moreno, Bednarek, Chambers, Nakamba, Sanson, Coutinho, K Young, Ings

Leeds United XI: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Struijk; Roca, Adams; Harrison, Aaronson, Gnonto; Rodrigo

Subs: Robles, Firpo, Llorente, Wober, Kristensen, Greenwood, Gelhardt, Bamford, Perkins

      Fun even

    2. BC1

      Freudian slipped oxymoron, cool.

  2. Gubby-Allen

    2 years, 10 months ago

    Out of my last four players who could have played, I have got 9 minutes out of 360 possible (from Digne).

    Martinez is my next differential. I look forward to him, falling over and getting knocked out in the tunnel on the way onto the pitch tomorrow.

  3. The 12th Man

    Brought Digne,Watkins and Sterling in for hits last week. Ugh!

        Thanks. Lol

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I did Digne, Diop, Pulisic and Mitrovic since the restart. Diop hadn't missed a match for Fulham before I got him.

      I signed Mitoma this week, so I am sure that his foot will fall off as he takes his first shot tomorrow.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Don’t say that. I brought Mitoma in this week too.

        Getting used to it now. Should just play boring safe.

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I bought Kane, Dalot and Summerville for a hit on Tuesday.

      Just Kane left to fall now....

    6. Rocketfabs11
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why on earth did you do that lol

  4. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years

    Bailey starts scoring when you transfer him out.

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Or forget he’s still in your 3rd team!

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'd keep quiet about that.

        1. BC1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Nah, FPL Towers love multiple accounts, boosts their numbers plus you can't win if you've multiple accounts.

  5. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any ideas when Stuart Dallas is back? Fpl fave of mine!

  6. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Moreno keeps his clean sheet intact

  7. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Its hard being Rodrigo owner....so many nearly moments

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yup, thats riight

  8. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why do so many people have Villa players

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs game bigged them up

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They don't

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have one, Digne, good run of games, lot of possible clean sheets. Wouldn't have an attacker.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I have Mings

        In fairness, he's been doing well lately.

  9. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Sickener for rodrigo owners

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

      Again

    2. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don’t ask… seems like fate itself is against us 🙁

  10. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What a save

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez top save

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez just won January save of the month

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Save of the season?

  13. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Another sickener for Roddy owners

  14. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Rodrig-no

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nodrigo

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rodnogo

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Orgrimmar

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    It's like Bielsa never left

  16. EWH2020
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Sold Darwin, brought in Rodrigo.

    Normally service resumed. Not unfeasible that I should be 50 points better off since the restart. Just a game of luck at the end of the day

  17. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So disappointed with myself for going Haaland(c). My OR is 1m and I'm not gunna win it so playing it safe feels like a mistake. Had Rashford and Kane.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      At least you didn't TC. Save that for Ward DGW.

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ha. I would have TC if I went Rashford

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ranks tightly packed (or so I'm told). There will be opportunities to climb later on.

          1. PogChamp
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            It's tough climbing the ranks. I went Kane over Haaland when he braced against United. I dropped 1m places and never recovered

  18. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Glad i brought in Rodrigo, Leeds look very attacking.

  19. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ended up ditching Dalot > Shaw for a hit & Rashford C

    Ederson
    Trippier, Botman, Shaw
    KDB, C Rashford, Martinelli, Almiron,
    Hauland, Kane, #Darwin

    Ward, White, Bueno, Andreas,

    .5

  20. Shane86
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Picked Rodrigo over Rashford since the restart, that first half sums it all up.

  21. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    WEGHORSTTTTTT

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hooorse

    2. Plumbers Pan
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’s big, he’s red, his feet stick out the bed
      Wout Weghorst …………

  22. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Not going to have a Salah 81 Mane 3 triple cap situation this season it will just be a case of adding whatever Haaland gets to your normal cap score

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    All TCers disappointed when Pep rests Haaland

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not a TC-er but that's never happening.

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      According to statistics, 7 mil managers are disappointed each GW. 😉

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He will start both 100%

    4. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He'll start both but I fancy a Red Card in the Spurs game. Romero to wind him up.

  24. Utopsis
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    This Kamara kid is unreal

  25. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Not buying Weghorst even when he gets a DGW and Martial is injured as usual

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ah yeah. He's another who's banned from my team forever.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    villa 2-0

  27. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    This might stand

  28. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Buendia G
    Bailey A

  29. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Meslier might be better as a young backup keeper

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He is such an overrated goalkeeper. Always has mistakes in him. Very erratic.

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bailey has played well

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He goes missing for whole games though
