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from Gameweek 18, as Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas and Fabinho replace Joel Matip, Andrew Robertson – who was withdrawn on Friday with a dead leg – and Jordan Henderson.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

    Trent lol

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

    Marty we have got to go back. Its Wissa, he's meant to score against Liverpool.

  3. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So what were people saying? Van Dijk the best PL defender ever?

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

      One season wonder.

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

      Never was.

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Saliba is

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

      he obviously was but his career was cut short by a little short armed rat.

    5. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's up there, but doubt anyone has ever said that. There have been some great defenders.

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

        You don’t think scousers were calling Van Dijk the best ever? Comment above you is even saying it.

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Neville called him that earlier this season. Was ridiculous then too

      3. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Scousers plus many Liverpool biased media said that.

        He shouldn't be even in top 5, perhaps top 10.

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

      While at Southampton

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This could be true lol

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

      Rio VIDIC Terry best 3 CB’s for me Prem era. Kompany and VVD this era

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

        McGrath, King and Woodgate probably the others in the conversation for me. McGrath played mainly pre-Prem and the other two were probably injured too much to be considered.

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

    is there any difference owning Salah or KDB? Both are crap at 12.5m +

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Both average picks and neither will be consistent enough to warrant their price.

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

      Was just thinking this... Where to put the money though?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        In the bank. Kane also not worth it.

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

      Only premium worth having is Haaland

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

        we could make a very good team with 85m

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

      Andreas better than both

  5. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    WISSSSAAAA HATT-TRIICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

  6. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Liverpool are spineless, such a shadow of the team they were. They look completely disinterested in defending.

    And TAA should be told to get those socks pulled up, looks ridiculous.

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

      It all stems from disrespecting Mane with a cheap contract.

      Should have moved heaven and earth to keep.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly! They have bought Darwin, Diaz and Gakpo trying to replace Mane 😆

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

          And spending £200M in the process ... mind boggling

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

      Mané’s senegalese witch doctor did his job

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

    I can't decide who would concede more goals next time Spurs and 'Pool play each other - they seem to be in competion for underperforming

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

      Will be 0-0

    2. Da Kril
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This! shame, but true. (as a Spurs fan)

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

    Can't see much love for Robbo when he returns

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

    Liverpool are awful

    Salah to KDB an easy transfer

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

      How is that easy? KDB is shocking also. Does have the double though I guess

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

        How is KDB shocking?

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

        Not really. His teammates have been ahocking by missing all his chances. Bigger underperformer than Darwin last 2 gameweeks.

      3. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not his fault mate. His passes are great, his team mates can’t finish.

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

          One of them isn't

      4. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        "KDB is shocking ".
        Lol .

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

      Awful and lucky

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

      Lol

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

    Liverpool in the mud. You love to see it.

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

      Oh NO we dont.

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

    Tsimikas, the wrong man bun to get all those chances

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

      He would have missed them as well, don't worry.

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

        🙁

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

      Yes, but they don't have Gareth Bale.....

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

    Arsenal are actually going to get top 4 the way Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea are going

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

      Arsenal and Newcastle nailed on for top 4

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Only Newcastle can stop them....

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

      Top 4 is cemented already. Just need confirmation on order.

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

      Even if those teams were playing well Arsenal would still get top 4 by slapping them all up

  13. Amey
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Liverpool are lucky not to be down by at least 1 more goal. Brentford are looking very good for few weeks now.

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

      I agree, however the first goal was not legal because it was assisted by another hand ball from Ben Mee

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

        Liverpool defense is shambles. Easy to target.
        It's funny how they became so bad defensive wise since last season...

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

        Mee never touched it

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

      They got away with it in their last 2 games.

      Really papering over the cracks with some of their fortunate results.

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

        Yeah. Very happy to see that 😆
        Wish there was a way to tag here. RCA would have got 100's of tag by now. Ha

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 14 Years

          It’s a long night, am sure you can make up for it later

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

            You bet 😆

  14. Yank Revolution

    When you Wissa-pon a staaaar....

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      A Raya of light.

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

        Don't need 'of' in that 🙂

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

      Not a bad team name that!

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

    Where’s the Nunez hat trick to cover for Mitro’s dgw?

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

      I still believe

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

    Has Cheese not paid the meter ?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn't appear so.

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

      😀

    3. SW6
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      RCA sabotage. To stop any Liverpool talk.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Heh.

      2. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I suspected this too,:)

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

        Ha ha ha
        It's a real possibility tbh.

      4. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I told you I was sick of the UTD talk. You didn't listen and now look

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Where’s pumpy got to?

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

        Or.... You got sick of Spurs bashing pumpy 😆

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 14 Years

          Hush your mouth 😉

      Known generic Proboards issue - it's not just us

    8. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      Oh hello there old fellows

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

    Maybe Martial could have hung around in my team a bit longer 🙂

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

    Hope Brentford win 4-0 after the grief Utd fans got earlier this season.

    Hoping salah doesn’t do owt as not got him in FanTeam, FPL

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

      Both may yet happen.

  19. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Tiago loves his high risk low reward passing...

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

    Got to love Brentford! Gung-ho football on a shoestring budget. They don’t back down for any team in this league.

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hats off to them. Like Leeds under Bielsa.

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

        But much better than Leeds getting beaten by 5 goals every few games

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They set a fine example.

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

    Toney is an immediate transfer in once he’s fit again.

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

      Assuming he's not banned.

    2. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Until February when he likely gets banned

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Any certainty on February?

        1. Old Bull
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It’s the timeframe that’s been suggested but no idea when in Feb. If it’s late he’s going to be worth it if fit

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He will take 5/1 on that

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

    Gakpo Firmino Salah soon, please

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

    TBF to Nunez I don’t think he did anything wrong with that chance.

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

      Agreed
      Mee not getting any credit for great defending

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

      If you spend £85 million you expect end product for all his hat work and endeavour his finishing is awful

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

        He got 34 for benfica last season so he knows where the back of the net is. I’m Utd and obviously we were linked with him but I do think he’ll end up prolific for luverpool

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wout Faeces wasn't there to swivel on the line blast it into the net this time...

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thiago is trying to do too much and misplacing passes.

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

    Moneyball FC showing the world how to do data science. Superb club.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Throwing stones in glass houses, laughable!

  26. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Erm yeah!

  27. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pool attack so predictable,only Nunez is ok even he dont know what he gonna do.

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

    Yeah Wissa definitely a possible move this week if Toney is confirmed out for a bit, so good every time he plays

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

      You called it!

  29. aWhisperer
    • 13 Years

    Liverpool all at sea

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, Liverpool is a port city.

  30. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Do I feel like a mug keeping Darwin and Salah and not getting Mitro. I’d take an assist and run for the hills at this point.

    1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Expensive assist

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

        I'm happy with 60 mins, no booking and maybe a shot on target.

        Probs the first time I've ever ignored the obvious option in a DGW. Mitro getting 2 hattricks for sure.
