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from Gameweek 18, as Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Fabinho replace Joel Matip, Andrew Robertson – who was withdrawn on Friday with a dead leg – and Jordan Henderson.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

    Why do these teams not have a full back by the post from corners

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

    Reckon that's good for us Darwin holders

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

      I would say so, have to go for it now more than they did before haha

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

      Well, only if he scores and that's a tall order

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

        I don't think he'll score, but would be nice if he showed some signs of improvement.

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

      Did Klopp confirmed Specsavers appointment for that donkey?

    4. Magic Zico

    6. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I sold Darwin for Mitro but think he could easily haul watching this.

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

    What a deft finish from Konate there.

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

      Nunez can learn a thing or two from him.

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

    Konate own goal after Mee hand ball

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

    New Year & still Pool cannot keep a CS!

  10. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    At least you know Liverpool will score now - no way this ends 1-0

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

      either this or it'll end 3-0

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

    Bring on Faes!

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

    the last 3 goals in liverpool games were OG's

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The term original gangster is so overused these days

  13. Urban Cowboy.
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I don't think Liverpool are winning the league this season.

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They're not making top 4

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is that you Nostradamus?

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

      Even they don’t think they’ll win this year 😆

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

      lol. More like not in top 4

    5. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Utd are the only team that can seriously stop City now.

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

    Started Alisson over Ward so of course that would happen lol

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

    Pool are just not a top 6 side anymore.

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

      So basically what they've been for the majority of the PL era?

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

      Is it all down to Mane? He’s definitely had a much more impact defensively than offensively. His contributions tracking back were immense!

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Were outplayed by Villa and Leicester they are a very borderline team with a lot of fortune on their side

  16. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Liverpool so poor defensively this season

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

    Crazy that Robbo price rose this week and is only 0.1m below his 7m starting price when Liverpool don’t keep clean sheets this season!

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

      I think it goes to show that no one knows what to do with all the extra cash they have this season.

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

      To be fair he's their best player this season.

  18. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Not a handball? In the review it seemed that his hand was shaking after ball went past him but that clip was recorded with a potato so difficult to say.

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

      no conclusive evidence of handball

  19. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years

    Yet another unclean sheet for LFC defenders.

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

    Brentford have been a breath of fresh air since coming up.

    Quite often beat the big boys. Great manager

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

      Raya and Toney have been fantastic for them too

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

        Mbuemo cracking as well.

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

    Wheres the guy that wanted to do Robbo to TAA for -4 earlier, hope they listened and didn't go through with it

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hope so too.

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

    Owners just think about it.
    If Darwin was actual real striker he would've brought you in double digit returns in each game since re-start...

    Oh what a shame....

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

      Some are sore losers. But you're a sore winner. Haha.

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

    Brilliant from Nunez. Keeping the faith.

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

    Brentford: ‘We have no Toney, who’s going to score for us now ?

    Konate (Liverpool): ‘Hey, I’m happy to help you out there…’

  25. g40steve

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Raya 10 pointer loading.

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

      Every keeper who plays Nunez gets a 10 pointer, he makes them all looking great with all his misses

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

    Tsimikas gifts a save to Raya for New Year's

  27. Flying Dutchman
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What a save Raya

  28. Marvin.

    FYI Lewandowski scored 9 times in 43 games in his first season at Dortmund. Klopp managed to get the best out of him.

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

      He wasn't playing as striker back then. Other Argentinian dude (Lucas Barrios) was the main nr9.

      1. Mirror Man
          3 years, 3 months ago

          This is why you don't see ducks managing football teams. They haven't a clue.

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

      Lol at these LFC strikes at goal.
