Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) follows hot on the heels of Wednesday’s action and kicks off this evening, with two matches taking place.

West Ham United v Brentford gets us underway at 19:45 GMT, with Liverpool v Leicester City following quarter of an hour later.

David Moyes makes three changes from Gameweek 17, as Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson Palmieri and Gianluca Scamacca come in for Thilo Kehrer, Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio, all of whom drop to the bench. That suggests a change of shape for the Hammers, potentially to a 3-4-3 formation.

As for Brentford, Thomas Frank makes only one alteration to his starting XI, with Josh Dasilva replacing Vitaly Janelt in midfield.

Over at Anfield, Liverpool make just one change from the side that beat Aston Villa 3-1 on Boxing Day, as Harvey Elliott comes in for Fabinho, who is absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, brings in Wilfred Ndidi and Ayoze Perez for Youri Tielemans and Dennis Praet. Jamie Vardy is once again named among the substitutes, while James Maddison misses out through injury.

      • 12 Years

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years

      1. DropkickMurphys
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry man… also as I don’t have him, that nails it!

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Haha! Really surprised he’s still producing, what a season he’s having!

  17. Marvin.

    Moyes gone in the morning surely.

  18. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Moyes will be gone after this

  19. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Toney may be justice-proof!

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gonna evade the law like a player fleeing the referee on the old Fifa games...

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Hahaha I remember that. That was fun

  20. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    watching Thiago and Henderson together in our midfield makes me want to scratch my eyes out

  21. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Moyes out! Bloody Muppet!

  22. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Toney is the ultimate anti-content-creator pick. He can score in all his four next fixtures...

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Whens his hearing?

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He'll probably get off with a "bender"

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Wanna bet?

  23. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Next up for Toney: Liverpool at home

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

      Buy and (C)

  24. Collie01

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jordan Henderson looks like he is just past it. Him and Fabinho have always been integral to Liverpool's CS potential.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Case in point

    2. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I thought he had an average World Cup.

  25. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Well Toney is clearly fixture proof

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Until he’s banned from them all

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Did he make any offensive comments over here or used the word "troll"?
        Cause otherwise I can't see him getting banned

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

      Until he has none ☹️

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Don’t matter what the question is

    The answer is Ivan toney

  27. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Trent and Robbo looking awful at the price

  28. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    No way Dyche doesn't have a Premier League job by the end of Jan. Just a question of where.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Where is it most likely?

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Everton or West Ham I'd say.

  29. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Dewsbury haul
