Gameweek 16 gets underway this evening as Brentford play host to Watford, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around the attacking players on show.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Brentford, who have won just once in eight Premier League games, are without Ethan Pinnock (£4.6m) because he has tested positive for Covid-19, plus Sergi Canos (£5.5m) who is suspended.

As a result, Mathias Jensen (£4.9m) and Yoane Wissa (£5.9m) come into the starting XI, with the latter expected to partner Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m) up front in Thomas Frank’s 3-5-2 formation.

Elsewhere, Ivan Toney (£6.6m) misses a second successive match, also with Covid-19.

As for Watford, Claudio Ranieri makes three changes from the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in Gameweek 15, with Jeremy Ngakia (£4.3m), Juraj Kucka (£5.5m) and Cucho Hernandez (£5.0m) replacing Danny Rose (£4.2m), Imran Louza (£5.2m) and Joao Pedro (£5.4m), all of whom drop to the bench.

That means Emmanuel Dennis (£5.7m) and Josh King (£5.8m) both feature in attack once again, with their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownerships now sitting at 29.6% and 7.9% respectively.

GAMEWEEK 16 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Fernandez, Goode, Jansson, Norgaard, Roerslev, Jensen, Janelt, Baptiste, Henry, Mbeumo, Wissa

Subs: Elliot, Angelini, Rose, Louza, Joao Pedro, Sema, Fletcher, Tufan, Kabasele

Watford XI: Bachmann, Femenia, Cathcart, Troost-Ekong, Ngakia, Kucka, Sissoko, Cleverley, Cucho, Dennis, King

Subs: Cox, Thompson, Forss, Ghoddos, Onyeka, Bidstrup, Bech, Stevens, Young-Coombes

    Mbuemo owners don't "deserve" it.

    It's just old FPL luck. Mediocre pick but sometimes you get the points.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      At least there's some happiness in their lives again 😆

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Surely they've missed out on more points by owning him

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

        I've heard a rumour that couple of them are inside top million, one even in top 200k.

        1. teneighty
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Didn't know people were talking about me here!

        2. Klaren
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Even in top 1k...

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      How's his xG btw? 😛

    4. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Salty

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Nah, it's good for them obviously. Any points are good for players who get them. I just think the whole "I deserve it because I stuck with a bad pick for so long" is a silly way to play FPL.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Bad pick? He’s what 5.5m…looks a decent option at that price. Can’t expect consistent points in that price range but he’s could’ve easily scored a few more this season

    5. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That's exactly what a non owner would say 🙂

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

      I’ll take sometimes from my 5.5 midfielder who’s often on bench duty. More than my rotating cast of “premium” strikers has offered this season in any case!

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

      Lol it was never a bad pick, he was unlucky with a lot of the finishes. And FPL is about sticking to right decisions regardless of the result, of course you wouldn't understand that and think it's luck.

    8. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He's hit the woodwork 6 times this season. He deserves luck.

    9. FPL Ludwig
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ofcourse very lucky to get a pen. It was the plan from very long time ago to keep him for lee and WAT, mostly due to his low price. His and Brentfords performances hasn´t been convincing. I did start him ahead of Dennis tonight just becouse the offchance he has pen duty behind Toney.

    10. MJF
        4 years, 4 months ago

        To be fair he always looks lively. I think for 5.5 he’s absolutely fine and he’ll get the odd goal. Maybe people who kept him felt there was no need to sell at that price, which is fine.

    11. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      4 points from Sissoko King, usual start to the game week

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

        Plenty more 2 pointers to come don’t worry

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Did u really expect anything from them? Sissoko never gets points and King only gets XG

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Honestly yeah I expected at least an assist from one of them, Kings stats are great and Sissoko got an assist the other week so why not

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            It’s the hope that kills you in this game!

      3. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years

        Should change your username to 2uper 2aints

    12. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

      Always preferred bees to hornets anyway

    13. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbeumo!!!! I knew I was keeping him for some reason.

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ha when you're lucks in it's in !!

        1. FPL Alaska
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Lol true story. Now can't wait to get rid of him.

          1. Balls of Steel
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I'm right behind you in the queue... 🙂

      ♫ Brentford, Brentford FC!
      They float like a butterfly,
      And sting like a bee!
      They call them, the Brent Supermen,
      They call to the other guys we're Bren-en-ford!
      Catch us if you can! ♫

      1. Ginkapo FPL

        Thats a crap song

        1. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Lmao!

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

      This gives hope for Kane owners. Even he may score one day!

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Surely ... with more than double the price 😛

    18. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbuemo survives the cut from my team for now

    19. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Disappointed that Mbeumo didn't take the opportunity to increase his woodwork record from the penalty spot

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Lol.

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

        He was probably aiming for it so that's why it went in

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

        Ha, just imagine

      4. CrouchDown
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This would have been so funny

    20. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbeumo and Dennis owner maybe this GW isn't going to be a complete right off after all.

      1. SINGH
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        How many hits you take?

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Just the one, but playing with 10 and still have Son tying up funds on my bench.

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        You’re write!

      3. WVA
        • 9 Years

        FML
        Buy a lottery ticket

    21. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Might sound weird but those 2 Brentford goals is big for us King owners, Watford were shite tonight with King and Dennis switching positions, should be King back to striker next game.

      And Mbeumo, best player in the world 😀

    22. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Fark off Mbuemo. Pile of crap with this 9 points.

    23. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbeumo first on the bench....

      Really hoping for a jota no show!

    24. Jdpz
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      How do you rate this match? Who was better? Who should win?

      1. SINGH
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Should have been hattrick for Dennis and Mbuemo red card.

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Watford got the one and sat back from there, invited pressure all 2nd half

      3. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Watford were terrible in second half. Brentford deserved at least a point for their second half efforts.

      4. Green Arrow
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Brentford were miles ahead in the second half and deserved the win. Watford sat back after taking the lead, with hardly any attacks all half.

    25. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not a bad start with Mbuemo and Dennis. 18. points from 2.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Well played

        1. Firminooooo
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Thank you sir. Hope they can give me a green arrow. Don’t even remember the feeling anymore.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Have you bought any lottery tickets?

        1. Firminooooo
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I will now.

      3. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Same here.

      4. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        23 after bonus 🙂

      5. Brazooka
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same here. Great start.

    26. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Couldn't have gone much worse that game

    27. Hooky
      • 11 Years

      Toney denied by Omicron

    28. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Bloody King!

      1. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        They often were

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        My apologies

      3. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        One game.

        It’ll be different in 6/7 gameweeks.

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah it will be much worse with Dennis getting all the goals and assists by that time.

    29. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbuemo FFS! More injury time penalty annoyance like Raphinha the other week. Shocking player who for some unknown reason many teams still seem to have takes the penalty because no Toney. Stupid moronic defender with a stupid tackle. Eff off!

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        😆

    30. Jdpz
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Best player and worst player today?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Weren't many great ones.

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hard to pick a best player to be honest

      3. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Best expected player was King imo

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

        Mbeumo best player by far. I'd jump on the bandwagon asap.

    31. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mbeumo you redeemed yourself tonight with that penalty...well just a little bit anyway! Thanks you sir 😉

    32. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Should’ve just gone with the sheep and got Dennis

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

        the sheep got king

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          30% ownership vs 8%. No

      2. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Baaa

      3. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        the sheep chose xg over eye test

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nah, we chose King who was playing up front, has penalties and because we know Dennis is going to AFCON.

          But you can have your little moment.

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

          Are you trying to say sheep got King? He has 8% ownership. Dennis has 30%. Sheep went for last week’s points.

      4. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Get king and Dennis like I have and then you can’t complain when one scores!

    33. Tuchel Job
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Woohhooooo! Got both Dennis and Jansson in my team.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Wow nicely done

        1. Tuchel Job
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks mate!

      2. fish&chips
        • 15 Years

        Are you my cup opponent 😀

        1. fish&chips
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I was just about to come on here moaning about who has Jansson. Haha

    34. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Finally get rid of Mbeumo and this happens

      What a guy

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same same

    35. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Right, just wasted 2 hours of my Friday night slagging off Josh King and I wasn't even watching the 2nd half. Need a new hobby. And counselling.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        The latter first.

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Or combine the 2 into 1 😉

      2. MagicMessi
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thats the downside of two attackers in same team ... 50/50 chance of disappointment or bring both which is irrelevant ..about hobby Chess goes well with fpl btw

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I picked the 2nd best option at least

          1. MagicMessi
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I wouldve picked King too all day tbh its impossible to predict with these two guys both will return at some point

    36. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Difference between eye test and stats attack!

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        *between looking at who has the most points and stats attack.

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Or watching live football and not YouTubers.

          1. Herger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            We’re on FFSX. No-one here watches football.

    37. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sell your Silva, Gundugan and Bowen and bring in the mighty MBEUMO

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
