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from Gameweek 18, as Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Fabinho replace Joel Matip, Andrew Robertson – who was withdrawn on Friday with a dead leg – and Jordan Henderson.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

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Keita, Jones, Robertson, Carvalho, Matip, Bajcetic, Phillips

    It doesn't even hurt with Darwin anymore..has made us owners numb to any emotion

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

    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Darwin was lurking. Great signs.

  4. Paganoi

    The good thing about Nunez is, he doesn't look like he has enough self-awareness for all of these misses to affect his confidence.

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

      It's because he doesn't have awareness to score goals

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

      With Jota, Diaz, and Firmino hurt, it's his show. He can't be benched. Just has to play through this mess.

  5. banskt
    • 12 Years

    But, Liverpool comeback is on.

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

    Ox saved Darwin from a horrible miss by scoring himself

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Trent should be £9m!

  8. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

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

      He's so rested from no World Cup, like he is still resting

  9. FFSbet.com

  10. Flying Dutchman
    • 15 Years

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

    That Trent cross is a thing of beauty. Class.

  12. el polako

    Nunez owners need to wake up and stop waiting for this donkey to return.

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

    3 years, 3 months ago

    TAA essential?!

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

      Cancelo to Trent after the DGWs.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ox essential

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

      No.

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      Nah. Konate essential.

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

    6. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Three A in 19 games & only 2 CS?

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Nothing gets past you mate

  15. Third Eye Vision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I see that Sky Sports are investing in the next generation of impartial commentators.

    1. MADCHESTER UTD
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is that the juniors thing? I had to turn it over to GNev after a couple of mins of hearing them.

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

        You lasted that long?

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I’ve turned the sound off.

          1. MADCHESTER UTD
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Watch on 401 with Gnev carra.

          2. MissouriMarten
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Awful isn't it? No wonder it's on a free to view channel.

        2. MADCHESTER UTD
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          TBH I wasn’t sure what was going on at first but when I realised I switched channel ASAP. Normally I watch game with sound off and listen to Goldbridges watchalongs which I find far more entertaining

    2. teknicolourfox
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Better than most who get paid to do it

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This game needs a Salah penalty

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

      He'd miss it.

  17. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ox giving Nunez a finishing clinic.

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

    100% Robbo will get an assist. Last on my bench.

  19. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Feel NUnez is worse than Lukaku tbh

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

      Or Werner

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

      He's like peak Lukaku with Werner's finishing

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

        Wormhole never had these great chances or involvement

        I think The Worm scores many of the Darwin chances

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

      I have fond memoirs of Lukaku. Darwin hasn't been around long enough to form memories.

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      lukaku was awesome player. Maybe not great success with Chelsea or ManU but great with Belgium & Inter Milan

  20. teknicolourfox
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I think I'd rather keep Nunez than Salah moving forward.

    They're all lacklustre

  21. MADCHESTER UTD
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ox May have scored but he’s a big part of the problem for Liverpool in the bang average midfield. I think Liverpool miss wijnaldjum

  22. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Have a horrible feeling liverpool are gonna pinch this

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

      Nah.

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

    Come on Brentford! Stay strong boysssssss

  24. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I'd think that Salah owners would be more concerned than Darwin Nunez owners just now.

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

      I am tbh

    2. teknicolourfox
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not really. He's easy to replace (Saka, Ødegaard, Rash etc.)

      Who the hell do you replace Nunez with?

      Jesus can't get fit quick enough for me.

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

    Darwin spotted in his own box performing defensive duties

    1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 3 months ago

        OG imminent

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gw12-16: Own TAA he gets nothing, Robbo 3 assists
      Gw18 I buy Robbo he gets dropped and TAA gets 2 assists

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

        Lol standard

    3. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah and Darwin ruining the GW in the first game....

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wissa vs BOU, lee and SOU next…

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

      With 2 FTs, I can afford quite the benching headache as DGWs come rolling in:

      Robbo + Andreas > Schar + Martinelli will give:

      Kepa Sanchez
      Trippier Shaw Akanji Schar White
      Salah Rashford Martinelli Odegaard Almiron
      Haaland Kane Mitrovic

      Oh boy

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