A home encounter with Manchester United gives Luis Diaz (£7.6m) the chance to reward his growing number of owners in Fantasy Premier League.

Liverpool's Colombian is the most-bought midfielder in Gameweek 20, earning over 231,000 transfers in ahead of Saturday's 11:00 GMT deadline.

Diaz is named in a 3-4-3 formation, with Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) and Alexander Isak (£9.2m) continuing as the captain and vice-captain respectively.

FPL GW20 Scout Selection
Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest) £4.8m

The Nottingham Forest goalkeeper has climbed to the top of the 'keeper standings on the back of three straight clean sheets. Sels looks primed for another shutout against a Wolverhampton Wanderers side who are without their suspended talisman Matheus Cunha (£7.0m) on Monday night.

Gabriel (Arsenal) £6.4m

The Brazilian is in fine form at both ends of the pitch. Gabriel has blanked just ONCE in his last six outings, combining a goal and two assists with three clean sheets ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Antonee Robinson (Fulham) £5.0m

Fulham’s left-back has seven assists to his name this season, already surpassing his total from 2023/24 Fantasy by one assist. The Cottagers host an Ipswich Town side who have failed to score on two of their last three road trips.

Dean Huijsen (AFC Bournemouth) £4.4m

A home meeting with Everton gives the AFC Bournemouth centre-back the opportunity to continue his excellent recent form. Huijsen is the joint top-scoring defender in Fantasy over the last six Gameweeks, earning 42 points, thanks to two goals, three clean sheets and nine bonus points.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) £13.6m

In his eighth season at Liverpool, the Egyptian is enjoying the best form of his career in Fantasy. Salah has already surpassed the 200-point mark in just 18 matches, scoring 17 goals and assisting a further 13.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £11.4m 

A visit to Crystal Palace gives the Chelsea playmaker the chance to bounce back from his blank at Ipswich. Over the last six Gameweeks, Palmer's 25 shots, 12 shots on target and 18 chances created all rank among the top two players in Fantasy.

Luis Diaz (Liverpool) £7.6m

Diaz has scored three goals in his last two appearances over the festive period, collecting 22 points. 

Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) £6.8m

The Brazilian has scored in each of his last three away starts, amassing 24 points across those contests. An ownership of just four per cent marks out Martinelli as a standout differential against Brighton.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle) £9.2m

The in-form Swede enters a trip to Tottenham Hotspur on the back of a six-match scoring streak. Isak has totalled eight goals, two assists and 62 points across that period.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) £8.8m

A home encounter with Leicester City looks encouraging for the Aston Villa forward's prospects. Watkins has produced a goal, an assist and 12 points in each of his last two starts at Villa Park.

Raul Jimenez (Fulham) £5.5m

At a cost of just £5.5m, the Mexican can offer great value at home to Ipswich. Jimenez has scored in each of his last two starts at Craven Cottage, totalling 17 points across those outings.
