Double Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at the Brentford Community Stadium, with Liverpool making the trip to west London.

The hosts claimed a 2-0 win over West Ham United in their final game of 2022, while Jurgen Klopp’s side came from behind to beat Leicester City 2-1 at Anfield.

Kick-off is at 17:30 GMT.

As for the all-important team news, Brentford’s top scorer Ivan Toney misses out, having been stretchered off in Gameweek 18. The forward’s muscle injury is “not significant” according to head coach Thomas Frank, but is enough to keep him out today.

That means Yoane Wissa comes in and partners Bryan Mbeumo up front, while Vitaly Janelt for Josh Dasilva is the only other change.

Liverpool, meanwhile, make three alterations from Gameweek 18, as Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Fabinho replace Joel Matip, Andrew Robertson – who was withdrawn on Friday with a dead leg – and Jordan Henderson.

As for new signing Cody Gakpo, he’s not in the matchday squad, with the Dutchman now in line to make his debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup on Saturday evening.


GAMEWEEK 19 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Roerslev, Zanka, Pinnock, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Janelt, Jensen, Mbeumo, Wissa

Subs: Strakosha, Canos, Dasilva, Ghoddos, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard, Sorensen, Crama, Trevitt

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Elliott, Thiago, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Darwin

    Imagine being a Darwin, Cancelo, Reece, Kulu, and Foden picker during the WC Wildcard

    Hello Bad FPL season!

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

      Unlucky, I only got the first 3

    2. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years

      That would be me...

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

      picked all of them but Foden and played my second WC straight away
      season over

    4. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I got 4 out of 5

    5. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years

      5/5 😎

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Least you avoided Wilson

    7. The Sociologist
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      4/5 for me… KDB instead of Foden.

      1. House Frey Wedding Planner
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly the same.....4/5 with KDB instead of Foden as well.

        Took my first -4 this season to get 3 of them off my team

  2. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Time to sell Darwin and cut my losses ?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      100% yes

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He gets one more game as I want to save 2ft

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

      Annoyingly no. Brighton next and then possible DGW. But he's not worth his price.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        The way this is going, Brighton is going to wallop them.

    4. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Even for -4 it's justified.

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      nah, the next one goes in, was unlucky today

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        You can say that next week as well!

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          🙂 Today was unlucky though both chances he did well with, against Leicester was crap

          No other player in the league will get as many chances as him, aside from Haaland

      2. el polako
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, yeah the old " On another day he would have hauled" - just in his case is after every game.

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          did vs Southampton, a haul makes up for 2 blanks

          1. el polako
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            When was that?

            1. F4L
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              last gameweek before WC

              1. el polako
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                So ages.

        2. Geriatric Unathletic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Please, please all sell! I am keeping and very much looking forward to a bumper Darwin haul (asap please).

    6. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He can’t finish his dinner!

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

      No, very unlucky not to score twice today- selling now means missing big score in next couple of weeks

    8. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sold him for Mitrovic this morning

    9. The Sociologist
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If Kane gets the double that’s a nice switch

  3. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Loving the celebrations though

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

      Awesome!! 😀 Carra wanted to join in haha

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

        Bees are on fire, mind and senses purified

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

    Nunez destroyed your life!

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's only fantasy game for us.
      Think about LFC they actually paying his wages and won't even get to Europe next year because he can't hit a barn door.

  5. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I'm loving that result as a non-Liverpool owner! All the teams at the top of my league have Salah + Darwin as well.

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

      Sounds like an awful league! Can I join?

    2. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      agreed, just unfortunate kdb won't punish them

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah don't see KdB doing much better than Salah tbh...

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Think I need to join you

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Glad for you but unhappy för myself as a Salah and Darwin owner

  6. Mirror Man
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gakpo in tears.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        he's laughing and thinking he will come to be the main man

      2. el polako
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        His frantically solicitors trying to find "cooling off period" in his contract.

    • Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mitro will punish us won’t he?

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

        Hope so

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Owners or non owners?

      3. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Don't you worry. Daddy Mitro will give you a good spanking.

      4. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He will get booked so yes

    • fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If Spurs get the double GW then a -4 to allow Darwin to Kane doesn't seem that bad.

      Sure Spurs aren't at their best, but Kane can easily score a goal or two in that double.

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

        Spurs have a double game week in 20.

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

          Not definitely

      2. No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes how I get Kane for Darwin is my challenge this week

        Pretty much only option is

        Darwin and cancelo to akanji and Kane

        1. fusen
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          That's seems a decent switch, although City aren't actually getting cleanies, so it doesn't have to be a city to city Def swap

        2. Geriatric Unathletic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          This is my plan also.

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

        I left money itb for this move in case Nunez didn't work out so I'm happy. However I'm a bit worried that we're in the midst of Conte's implosion and that things are going to get worse for Spura

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

          Likewise. Just annoying Spurs look so poor right now. Although otherwise I don't mind Spurs being poor at all!

      4. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Have Kane already, who to get for Darwin?

        1. Johnjo
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          That Haaland guy who plays for Man City could be a good differential...

        2. fusen
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Wilson? Nketiah? Toney until his van (if fit).

          Or move the move to midfield

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Yes, considering with 2 FTs. Have Haaland, KDB and Kane, so one more dgw player would be enough

    • Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      When will we know more about Double Gameweeks?

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

        After FA cup games so probably around 8 days time

    • Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Feel like I got away with it there as a Darwin seller

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I sold martial an kept Nunez, that’s probably gonna come back an haunt me isn’t it !

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

          Likewise, yes of course.

    • Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Darwin is a perfect example of FPL FOMO... I say that as an owner... Shame on us

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He has Brighton next tho 🙂

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Lol

    • FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t know why I still own Salah and am still reluctant to sell

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

        I did ask why so many own Salah last week and got told "what an odd question" by a sheep

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

          https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2022/12/25/merry-christmas-from-fantasy-football-scout-12/?hc_page=18&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_25532731

          Many here are very passive aggressive when you question the herd. Salah's been off the boil for a year. Feel like an absolute numpty going for Nunez though...

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

            😆

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I just brought him in but already thinking of selling

      3. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        May switch to kdb for dgw

      4. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not been worth his price all season

    • Flying Assassins
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone know or how I find out the percentage that captained Haaland in the top 10k?

      1. Mirror Man
          3 years, 3 months ago

          48.98%

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

            listening to him on fplwire I get the impression he doesnt watch games and just bases his decisions on stats

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

            Lol. There is an expectation that he’ll become a deadly finisher.

            I don’t think it’s something that can be taught. You’re either a natural goalscorer or not.

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

              Vardy, is it you? Obviously Mane ...

            2. BobbyDoesNotLook
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Are you kidding? 😀 why can you train and learn shooting, awareness, dribbling etc but you are born with finishing skills or not?

            3. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              He scored goals in Portugal. Scores goals for Urguay. Not every goalscorer in the PL started as a 'natural' goalscorer.

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

            Lol

            Think he also said the triple captaincy chip should be removed when KDB destroyed everyone at the end of last season

          4. Mirror Man
              3 years, 3 months ago

              He looks like he's up to something.

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

            The game is about luck and timing and then a little bit of skill/not making rash decisions it’s hilarious people read so much into the stats

          6. WVA
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            The community don't watch football

        1. Blue Moon Rising
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Sky sports captain for tomorrow (only)?

          A) Rashford
          B) Mitro

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

            A

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

          Glad Salah has gone missing again at least. Was looking at a way to get him back speedily; doesn't feel so important now.

          Darwin > Kane (FT) on the cards but with 0.4m ITB got some breathing room with fixtures in next few games & the cups.

        3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Well, at least I have two cash cows in Salah and Darwin

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            just dont want anyone else

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

            There's at least five awesome midfielders and Haaland Kane Mitrovic is pretty good

        4. dshv
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It’s not about darwin.. liverpool were so bas

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

            Thing is Darwin has been one of the better all-around players... Just that finishing has been gash.

          2. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            What happened to Liverpool’s clever and value for money transfers?

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

              They made 1/2 mistakes in the last 5 years. The club you support, does a big one of those every single season

              1. RamaJama
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Don’t support United, only Solskjær 😉

          3. F4L
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            non-existent midfield, Firmino needs to come back and with Gakpo in go back to 4231

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

              Starting to doubt their signings. Jota gas been ok, but not a Salah/Mane/Firmino class, not Diaz, Nunez eighter. Does Gakpo have the level to rebuild Liverpool?

            They both register a couple of points per game so in that way, yes, it’s a no brainier. Do what you want and don’t engage your brain.

              Mahrez seems to play home games mainly

          Oh well, I guess at least Salah will match KdB

              Sneaky feeling he will be the highest scorer this week

          I was 100% right owning none of Salah, KDB, Kane or Nunez or Cancelo. If I were to pick the right differentials and not bench some others, I’d have been top 100 (not 100k).

          People are obsessed to spend nearly all of the budget. The best team since restart is close to 92 mil. I have like 6 mil in the bank and this is never a problem.

            What is the 'best' team?

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

              There are websites which pull this data but you can do the simple math from the official one because there were only 2-3 gw. Nothing surprising - 3 Arsenal attack, Toney, Mitro, Rashford, utd defense. It was not impossible to make it right.

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Great! Are you keeping those lads for the next 5-10 GWs and with no big hitters involved? That would be fantastic to see the outcome ...

            You would have been so good, if you weren’t crap…….is that what you’re saying?

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

              Biggest mistake was not having more Arsenal attack and benching martinelli. Took Foden and Zaha as differentials and both were crap.

            You just cant make this claim. I also dont own Nunez, Salah or KDB although I do have Kane and Cancelo. But it still remains to be seen whether it was the right move until we get to the end of the season. These big players could easily start hauling at anytime.
