<h2>Who has the best FPL fixtures?</h2>
<h3>Gameweek 20</h3>
<p>Brighton top the Hub's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a> this week with a home match against Burnley.</p>
<p>The Clarets have the worst expected goals conceded (xGC) in the league, although their attack is slightly stronger - albeit their expected goals (xG) is still fourth worst.</p>
<p>Spurs have not been on the radar for a while, however they rank second on the ticker with Sunderland (H).</p>
<p>The Black Cats have the worst xG and have significantly over-performed from an attacking perspective, so this could be a good week for Spurs' defenders.</p>
<p>Fresh from winning their third point of the season, Wolves host West Ham in a crucial clash at the bottom of the league.</p>
<p>Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle complete the set of the highest-rated fixtures on the ticker.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Gameweek 20-24</h3>
<p>Villa, Everton and Newcastle are among the teams with an appealing run over the next five gameweeks.</p>
<p>Spurs however top the ticker, with West Ham (H) and Burnley (A) among the highlights.</p>
<p>Aston Villa have some testing away games but their home schedule looks good, with Nottingham Forest, Everton and Brentford visiting Villa Park.</p>
<p>Back-to-back home fixtures for Newcastle, Manchester City and Everton help them into the top seven.</p>

<h2>FPL predicted points</h2>
<h3>Gameweek 20</h3>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>tops the Hub AI <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">predicted points</a> table by a clear distance ahead of teammate <strong>Phil Foden</strong>.</p>
<p>The rest of the top 10 is bunched tightly, all within a single predicted point.</p>
<p>Among them is <strong>Cristian Romero </strong>in joint fourth, with Spurs' fixture influencing the high ranking for a defender.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel </strong>and <strong>Jan Paul van Hecke </strong>make it a defender-heavy top 10 in comparison to usual.</p>
<div id="attachment_76814" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-76814" class="size-full wp-image-76814" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Predicted-points-gw20.jpeg" alt="Gameweek 20 predicted points" width="840" height="690" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Gameweek 20-24</h3>
<p>The top three predicted scorers do not alter over a five-gameweek stretch, with Haaland ahead by nearly 13 points.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel </strong>looks to be a clear defensive target with the sixth best projection. He's the only defender in the top 10.</p>
<p><strong>Antoine Semenyo </strong>ranks fourth, however uncertainty over his move to Manchester City makes him one to monitor for now.</p>

<h2>Should a chip be played in FPL Gameweek 20?</h2>
<p>A renewed roster of chips comes with temptation, especially when highly owned players like <strong>Declan Rice </strong>are injury concerns and managers look for a way to bring Gabriel back into their teams.</p>
<p>But chip strategy in the second half of the season is usually heavily influenced by <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-blank-double-gameweek-guide">blank and double gameweeks</a>, meaning the Wildcard and Free Hit are likely to be more valuable later on.</p>

<h2>Best FPL Gameweek 20 Free Hit team</h2>
<p>It's not often the AI resorts to a back five in its teams of the week - but the amount of defenders high in the predicted points table means that is the early approach to Gameweek 20.</p>
