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from Gameweek 18, as Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Fabinho replace Joel Matip, Andrew Robertson – who was withdrawn on Friday with a dead leg – and Jordan Henderson.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’s funny because you just know Nunez is going to turn up with a 20+ point haul eventually

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

      Once everyone has sold

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

        can easily afford to bench him until then 😉

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

        And that's fine. If he follows a string of ten blanks with a haul and everyone will have sold him by then, the impact to our teams will be minimal.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is it worth it if he has got 1-2 pointers every week previous to that?

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

      No he won't.

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

      Owners should hold. Big score coming…..sometime

      ….. maybe

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

      GW 38 probably

  2. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Darwin is a bit like Suarez mentality-wise but he's miles away from his finishing quality.

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

      They are beyond compare

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

      Does he have sharp teeth?

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Shared was a bit iffy in his first few months there.

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Suarez rather.

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

    Kane -> Mitro should have been Darwin -> Mitro. Kne hattie incoming 🙁

    1. tryf88
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Same boat

  4. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe Darwin should drop back into midfield. It worked for Joelinton's Prem career.

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

    These comments make it seem like mitro is the regen of Brazilian Ronaldo

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

      He is in comparison to Nunez

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

      Just wait for his 60 point gameweek

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

        Amen

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

        to Mitro scoring 60 pts this gameweek

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You know who they are comparing him with?

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

      Would R9 have scored 43 goals in a championship season?

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Funnily enough, I wondered today why United aren't thinking of him as a short term solution to their striker problems.

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

        I’d take MITROVIC in a heartbeat. Or Toney and see how they get on rest of season.

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

        Because Fulham would demand an astronomical figure, given he how important he is to staying in the Prem for them.

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

          Yeah but we’d give them Phil Jones and mctominary as a sweetner!

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Kane is available soon. They want a loan.

  6. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    That’s the balls he needs

  7. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is the BBC blog stuck on 50 minutes (Ox goal) for everybody else too?

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

      Checked and yes it is

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

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

      Stuck for me.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Emma must be taking a nap

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

      Yes. Thought it was just me.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Brothers in arms

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

    Raya is a fkn smart keeper. He reads the game so well.

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

      Tottenham next season ?

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

        They'll get Pickford

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

        He said "smart"

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

          Lol

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

      United should go all in for him

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

        Raya or Sanchez BHA. Or martinez who I’m surprised arsenal got rid of

        1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Sanchez is a terrible keeper

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

            I like him. And he’s only 23ish I think. 6ft 6 etc

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

    Watching Nunez actually lets us all forget how bad Salah really is.

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

    I'd never heard it pronounced Sathah before...

  11. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chilwell would’ve had several today at the back post.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He plays for Chelsea

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Hence would’ve?

  12. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Akanji and Jo, I mean Nunez
    To
    Cancelo and Mitro for free?

    Yes I know it's a bit late on Mitro but I have Kane and Haaland and want NOBODY else at the moment.

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

      Yes.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’d keep him then

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

    Cmon Darwin one more...
    ...yellow.

  14. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So can I be smug yet and say I've avoided Liverpool like the plague since the restart?

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

    Talk is all about Darwin but Salah owners will be very disappointed with his performance last 2 GW

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

    Serious question, replacement for Darwin? Toney (if fit)?

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

    Get in, Cujo!

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

    A Salah YC too much to ask?

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

      I'd be OK with it if he scored and Brentford scored once more.

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

        Alright, that's one out of three.

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

    Mbeumo goal

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

  21. fantasist

    3 years, 3 months ago

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Premium players suck this season.

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

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