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

    Expected - 60
    Reality - 6

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

      Stoppage time in the Villa Leeds game?

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        😆

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

    Summary

    Positives: Bailey, Gnonto, Martinez, Kamara, Young

    Negatives: Digne + Watkins crocked (making Bailey even more nailed), target Leeds defence

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Agree. Bailey so inconsistent but maybe with Watkins out will be better. And Moreno didn’t look to bad.

      Gnonto is a very exciting player

      1. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        PS - Toney in for next week then!

  3. @FPL__Engineer
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bailey 12 pointer, BOOOOOSH

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

      Could have done with some of that at the start of the season..

  4. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Was very tempted to get Rodrigo in this GW. With Bamford back now though I'm not sure he's as desirable?

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

    Hmm maybe I shouldve sold Rodrigo for Mahrez, pretty unlucky tho I feel

  6. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Are we expecting darwin back for Chelsea next week? Feel I'm stuck with him....

    All rivals I have got mitro so no point going there

    Toney facing a ban and prob doesn't play 25....not many options

    1. Sulley
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson?

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Toney process of responding to allegations, possible ban and an appeal could last quite a while.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think I’m going Fergie. Form + fixtures

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I have 3 Newcastle

        I conscious of bringing in more players who are likely to blank in gw25....this rules out toney....already have 5 or 6 blankers

        If darwin is fit he is somewhat of a differential

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Are Brighton likely to blank in 25?

          1. Flynny
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Man u v Brentford
            Newcastle v Brighton

            These are likely blanks in gw25 assuming United and Newcastle beat saints and forest

            I'm conscious of this now as I have 5 of the above plus darwin and patterson

            1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Didn’t know. Thanks! Need to rethink then

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If Darwin not fit then perhaps Nketiah preparing for Arsenal double

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Yes, there is him.

        But feel like ode and saka far superior assetd to Eddie...

        Anyway, hoping darwin is fit and ill have him as a semi differential! Thanks

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Also arsenal has united next weekend so may not be best week to bring Eddie in...cheers

  8. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    According to LiveFPL the team is 89% template this week - that's the highest I can recall.

    Can anyone beat 89% template?

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

      78% for me.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Identical defence to mine

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      69% here

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nice

    3. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just 61%

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Differential captain? I recall you stating "It’s disconcerting when your captain choice doesn’t even appear on the poll"

        1. Our Tiny Windows
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Darwin with Haaland vice if he’s injured.

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

      89.54%

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

      Oh dear! 88.32 template

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      74%

    7. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      91%

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yay someone in the 90s

        1. Zoostation
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          91%

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

      90% sadly. Also in part why not TC. Variance lower & Haaland goals are apparently still a tiny tiny green at my rank.

    9. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Well done everybody! Arise, all of you!

    10. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same, 89% template.

  9. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    anyone else believing Klopp's just playing mind games and will be starting Darwin tomorrow?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah haha

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No, in another question asked about transfers he said that we have 4 attackers injured and he said after that Nunez will be back soon but others need time, so I believe Nunez is out of the squad for tomorrow

    Well, looking at all the teams being posted on twitter, apart from watching your own team as a fan, there is not much point in following the games this weekend and hoping for points as everyone's team is almost identical. Absolutely pointless bore fest of a game FPL is turning into. Sad times.

    1. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Any point in living?

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Masked singer for you then

    3. jammie26
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      7 mil rank ?

    4. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fun starts now imo with DGWs game is more interesting. This gw some didn’t TC Haaland, I went Ake over Shaw and Toney is another differential I would love to watch tomorrow

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

      Get differentials then

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

      Fortunately you're still here to share though 😉

    7. Assisting the assister
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah jokes aside try to outsmart people on the blanks coming up - that’ll separate people

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

      Are you related to Bennerman btw?

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        no idea who that is, sorry.

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

          Unbelievable

    9. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      i was thinking today that team value doesn't help
      makes people do similar transfers as being different loses you team value

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

        this is true!

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Defs you would consider as Cucu replacement?

    Have White in my team and fixtures for Arsenal will be only better so could actually only target GW21. Maybe Lewis could be an option? Or just Botman? Also considering Varane/Martinez with possible DGW in mind?

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

      I would just get Botman

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Sounds good tbh

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

      I'm looking at Lewis as my next transfer to replace Patterson.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Would be my second 3.9 along Bueno so not exactly sure but kinda tempting as well

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      All saving third United spot for Weghorst? 😀

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Wout'nt you like to know!
