1734
Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 20 kicks off on Friday, January 13, with the deadline set for 18:30 (GMT). With Fulham’s clash against Chelsea taking place on Thursday, FPL managers have a quick turnaround to contend with.
Four teams – Crystal Palace, Man City, Man Utd and Tottenham – have a Double Gameweek to look forward to. Needless to say, FPL managers should aim to target players from those sides before the deadline.
Before we go over the best FPL players for DGW20, let’s take a look at the fixture list in full.
- Aston Villa vs. Leeds
- Man Utd vs. Man City
- Wolves vs. West Ham
- Nottm Forest vs. Leicester
- Brighton vs. Liverpool
- Everton vs. Southampton
- Brentford vs. Bournemouth
- Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace
- Newcastle vs. Fulham
- Tottenham vs. Arsenal
Aston Villa and Leeds kick off the action on Friday night, with the Manchester derby, East Midlands derby and North London derby taking place across the weekend. The following week sees the rearranged DGW fixtures take place.
- Crystal Palace vs. Man Utd
- Man City vs. Tottenham
Crystal Palace host Man Utd on Wednesday, January 18, before Man City entertain Tottenham on Thursday, January 19. Now that you’re up to speed on the fixtures, here are the best players for FPL DGW20.
Goalkeepers
Ederson (Man City) and David De Gea (Man Utd) are undoubtedly the best DGW goalkeeper options, ahead of Hugo Lloris (Tottenham) and Vicente Guaita (Crystal Palace).
It is worth noting, however, that Chelsea, Newcastle and Brentford have the best clean sheet odds for DGW20. That means Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea), Nick Pope (Newcastle) and David Raya (Brentford) are all worth considering.
Defenders
Most FPL managers will be looking to target Man City and Man Utd defenders, with John Stones (Man City), Manuel Akanji (Man City), Luke Shaw (Man Utd) and Diogo Dalot (Man Utd) among the popular picks.
Ivan Perisic (Tottenham) and Eric Dier (Tottenham) are solid options, too, along with Kieran Tripper (Newcastle), Timothy Castagne (Leicester) and Ben Mee (Brentford) for teams with one fixture.
Midfielders
It’s safe to say that Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) and Marcus Rashford (Man Utd) are the best midfield picks for DGW20. De Bruyne has the potential to rack up tons of points, while Rashford has scored seven goals in his last six games.
Owned by just 6.2% of FPL managers, Son Heung-min (Tottenham) could prove to be an excellent differential. In terms of teams playing once in DGW20, Miguel Almiron (Newcastle) and Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) are arguably the best options.
Forwards
It goes without saying that Erling Haaland (Man City) is the best forward pick for DGW20. After all, the lethal striker has racked up 21 goals and three assists in 16 Premier League games this season.
Harry Kane (Tottenham) is the next best option, having bagged 15 goals in 18 league outings this term. Anthony Martial (Man Utd) and Julian Alvarez (Man City) could also prove to be great picks.
