Brentford face Arsenal in tonight’s season opener, with all Fantasy Premier League (FPL) eyes on Ivan Toney (£6.5m).

The Bees forward, who arrives in the top-flight having netted 33 Championship goals last term, is the second-highest owned forward heading into Gameweek 1 with 31.4% of FPL managers backing him.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has opted for a 3-5-2 formation. That means an out-of-position (OOP) start for differential Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m), with new signings Kristoffer Ajer (£4.5m) and Frank Onyeka (£5.0m) also involved from the off.

Meanwhile, Arsenal line-up in a 4-2-3-1, with forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.0m) and Alexandre Lacazette missing out as expected.

The most popular Gunners asset for tonight’s game is Ben White (£4.5m), who sits in 26.2% of teams. He features as a right-sided centre-half, in a line-up which also includes youngsters Albert Sambi Lokonga (£5.0m), Emile Smith Rowe (£5.5m), Gabriel Martinelli (£5.5m) and Folarin Balogun (£5.0m).

15.4% owned Bukayo Saka (£6.5m) starts on the bench.

Kick-off at the Brentford Community Stadium is at 20.00 BST.

    Just home from Free Guy. Go watch it. Its great!
    Ben White second sub. No Toney. Happy with my 0 points. Aul lego head gone by morning?

    1. FPL Joker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I love Ryan Reynolds for his Inferentialism

    2. FPLtfs

      • 9 Years

      Who’s first sub?

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Rapha

    3. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks for the recommendation. Need a good few movies

    4. One Man
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      My first sun is white. It was obvious that Brentford would score.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Second sub is White. It was obvious Brentford would score twice 😉

  2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Still have 15 players to play.
    Feeling quite smug as it stands.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I bench boosted - none of the bench has played yet -
      But it is Schmeichel - Barnes -Buendia and Coufal.

      I am suddenly thinking Wolves - Watford and Newcastle are more than capable of ruining it.

      1. FPL Joker
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Me too. Have 10 points from Raya & Toney.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Well done on that Raya pick.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I spend a ridiculous amount of time planning the BB and how I would exit it in the up coming gameweeks.
          Looked great on paper!

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cash* not Coufal

  3. Esalman

    4. Alisson WondHaaland

    Rage transfer Trent to Pinnock done.

    1. Gomolon
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Salah to Mbuema too, easily worth a hit

  6. WiredWeasel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Late to this; apologies if already picked up, but I want the T-Shirt quoting Thomas Frank:
    "We're just a bus stop in Hounslow"

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      We sing it loud tonight haha

  7. Khark
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Whats the bests theres a team somewhere with Canos, Pinnock and Raya with one of them triple captained!

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      bets*

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A mad Bees fan no doubt

    3. Gomolon
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Surely some Brentford fans have tripled up as it's their first season in the prem

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      There will be loads - Friday night game

    5. FPL Joker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      They’re a good team. I nearly went for three of em. Henry | Pinnock | Ajer | Canos is better than Arsenal’s back 4. Better than half the league’s in fact.

    6. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Guy in my ML somehow has Canos

      1. Chemical76
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Check the leading overall score

    7. Rankbajin
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Top scoring team is Raya, canos (c) and Toney plus 3 arsenal players.
      Who'd have thought....

  8. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pukki (C) GW4 vs Arsenal 😎

  9. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Did Raphinha pickers know about this brazil thing? a bit awkward

    1. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I assume will miss gw4 at least

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Is he in the brazil squad much?

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Brazils last game is 10th august, and Leeds play on 12th vs pool so he will for sure miss that, let alon quarantine rules so not even sure about next game

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Jota choo choo

          1. Cheeto__Bandito
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            at the exact time Tsimi wheels will fall off lol

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Which is annoying for me, having got Jota over him in the first place

    3. Zogzeg
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No. Wtf?

      1. Khark
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Players call up are Alisson, Ederson, Thiago Silva, Fabinho, Fred, Raphinha, Richarlison, Jesus and Firmino.

        The last game is on the Thursday, finishing early Friday morning UK time. So there is a strong doubt that these players (and perhaps other South Americans (e.g. Martinez, Buendia) for GW4 due to when they'll be back.

        There's also potentially a quarantine issue for players returning to England from South America.

        1. Khark
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Thats a copy and paste by the way

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Jota nailed 🙂

    4. Gomolon
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It was announced a couple hours before the deadline - Raphinha called up to the Brazil squad for their upcoming games (the last of which is like a day or two before Leeds play Liverpool)

    5. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only just found out myself.

    6. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I assume you are still allowed a free transfer every week, which can be used to swap one player for another?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Doubt his owners expected much vs Pool.

        1. Flair
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Because Liverpool defense has been so solid recently? 😆

    7. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Most probably plan to bench then anyway

    8. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only heard about it after deadline but ah well, if he plays anything like last season he could be a season keeper and at least it's not for a prime fixture like Norwich he'll be out for. Although I read people saying he'll miss two games so if it's just one then that's good news to me!

    9. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Had no idea - don't have Raphinha fortunately.

      But how awesome for him to get a call up. No joke making the Brazil squad right now.

  10. twisterteo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I'm suddenly thinking
    Mahrez to Mbueno
    Ings to Lukaku
    Would be a very easy and sweet way to get Lukaku in. Yes or no?

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes but absolutley not tonight, tomorrow night or any other night in at least the next week.

      Kneejerky its one game.

      1. twisterteo
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Oh absolutely not now
        But seems a fairly straight way to get Lukaku in

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like it but Id be surprised if the wildcard hadnt been triggered by the time we want Chelsea assets

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez is playing Norwich at home. Ings is playing Newcastle at home.

      Yes do it.

    4. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      What if lukaku is a werner?

    5. FPL Joker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      My wife has Ederson, TAA, Salah, Fernades & Lukaku. Didn’t think it was possible.

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Love that your wife plays the game. Nice thing to enjoy together.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Enjoy?

      2. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        my wifes team has Stones, Cancelo, Foden, Grealish & Kane.
        that sort of thing happens only once in a blue moon.

    6. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Hold those knees.
      I have Mbuemo but wouldn’t say he’s a sudden definite buy, good early signs but need way more minutes/games

    7. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe. One game in the first game week...sit back and enjoy the rest of the games

    8. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Brentford played Arsenal - wait till that face a real team in my opinion.

      And not just as a joke - Arsenal were missing key players and half their team weren't old enough to be in charge of their own finances it seemed.

      1. Garybaldbee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Umm. Brentford were missing key players too, including Jenson and Da Silva. It works both ways.

  11. 3 A
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Ranking 1st in the world have triple captained Canos

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Dare to be different

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It’s a marathon though.

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Haha they also have 3 x Arsenal and another 2 x Bees, I feel they had one goal

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        3 bees, you forgot the 'keeper. But it's yet another [probably multi-account] player on BEin sports league with zero history so who cares.

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah that’s what I’m saying, Canos plus two other bees. But yep just a one night thing

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Goal achieved!

      He has 50 other teams to go at least. So what.

    5. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The top overall managers right now probably have 100 teams each though.

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        who even has time for this?

  12. bazbestos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    With Lukaku being added to the game yesterday before gameweek deadline and him having an incredibly low ownership, once even a few people start to transfer him in is he going to continually breach the triggers and be prone to multiple fast price rises or will FPL manipulate his transfer in ratio?

    1. SuperG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah. But their fixtures are horrendous.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      he should be flagged for 7 days to start with so that will mitigate some of it, but yes as soon as he bags a brace you can expect his price to go up to 12 over the course of 3-4 weeks or so

    3. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Chill, locked until 20th... ;o)

    4. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fully planning to bring him in for a -4 this week. Left budget to do it.

  13. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    If you blame Kroenke for this loss to Brentford you need to give your head a wobble. Arteta Out

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I blame everyone at the club

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      All started with holding onto Wenger two years past his sell by date. Could’ve had Tuchel ..

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, let's blame one of the greatest managers of all time. Jeez...

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ultimately it's Kroenke responsibility to put a management team in place for success.

      Best I can tell Arsenal have some young talent, and some old past-it talent - and naught in between.

      The lack of continuity and system is on Arteta - but also if he's the wrong guy in the first place then that's Kroenke's fault too.

      No sympathy for billionaire owners - billionaires are always to blame about everything.

    4. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Of course Arteta also to blame, but over the last few years at Arsenal there has been some of the worst recruitment I have ever seen.

  14. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Canos and Pinnock in for a hit?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only if you sell the Pool pair.

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

      Sure, why not!

      Somebody got 14!?

    How did Tony play tonight? Any chances?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Mbeumo got into better positions tbf

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I’d say he played well and looked dangerous

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Played well. Encouraged he will get goals.

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      😉

    5. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Toney looked more likely to get an assist than a goal this match. No need to bother with transfer (either direction) based on that small sample.

    6. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Deeper than usual due to missing creative midfielders - he'll come good.

  17. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I am not an owner of neither of them, just had Mbeumo in a couple of drafts, but I'd be very optimistic regarding him and Toney based on what I saw today.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      well it's too late to do anything about.

      most folks will say yes, but not likely to get a full 90 minutes based on manager comments.

        Toney and White got about 90 mins.

      It will take a few weeks to get dialed in when things settle down and even then some strange moves happen but it is the best out there as far as i know.

      I have ESR and Balo on BB

      No Brentford.

      Safe to say the Balo punt was the very first mistake of the year.

      Not sure it will be the last!

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Decent shouts though tbf. On another day etc etc. Tierney for me, speaking of on another day. Six chances he created, smh

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          On another day there would AT LEAST been a look at the Balo twist and half chance in the box. ESR could and should have scored at least one but he blasted it straight at the keeper.

          It's all good we move on!

          Still got 13 to play and I like my squad balance if I have to make a move or two.

      own him and benched him. feel like the winner in a bad haircut contest.

      You mean a £4.5 nailed defender who will get the odd cs even with a crappy defense like the Gunners have?

      Yes please.

      Don't get too carried away with Arsenal's performance tonight as they had a depleted squad and Brentford played out of their skin tbf.The trick is knowing when to bench and play a guy like that. 😉

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        the counter argument is that owning him and not knowing when to play him will cause you to have a coronary. watch him put some attacking returns against city or Chelsea, then you'll play him vs. Norwich where Pukki will bin a brace, you'll bench vs. Burnley away and there will be a CS.

        P.S. I have him. For me, it was that he is nailed, but with the other investments I have made mean he will sit on the bench almost full time.

    9000 managers have transfered Lukaku in
    8000 managers have transferred Lukaku out

    The take away: 17000 managers are very confused

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years

      You put Lukaku in
      You put Lukaku out

      some serious hokey cokey going on

    2. moment

      Transferring Lukaku in is not a stupid move. It's perhaps a bit premature given there's zero chance of him rising in price tonight, but if you know you want him for next week, why not?
      Transferring him out is odd, however.

  27. Oz lotto

    I have Toney and white. benched both. Happy enough with how Toney looked as he will get in the goals and created. Also the way he plays makes me optimistic about him getting in the bonus with defensive stats that most strikers don't...

    Wish I had of gone for a non playing 4.0 instead of white though... dude looks like a tattooed cardboard box.

    1. BigBillyBass
      • 7 Years

      You should seriously consider stand-up comedy. Excellent

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I took both out of my team before deadline, worried about mass sell offs if they didn't perform. Arsenal's fixtures and poor showing today tell me White will definitely drop. Toney I don't see falling. Barring injuries I'll get him in for GW2 - he looks like a banker

  28. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years

    1764 people transfer Toney out already, at this rate if other strikers this gw, he will drop 6.4 or 6.3

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I don't understand this. These 1764 musn't have watched the game and just looked at numbers. Created 2 very very good chances

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He’s on a triple arrow UP according to FPL statistics. Way more transfers in lad!

      • 16 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If he does not get any returns the next game I bet he will drop in price. It is one of those situations for those who own Toney, not to not be swayed. by a potential price drop. Unfortunately/fortunately I do not own Toney but he does look like a value pick now. Four OK fixtures starting with Palace.

    I’ve just noticed that No 4 in the world is Mikel Arteta with 43 points who’s team consisted of 2 Brentford Defenders and their goalie 😀
