Double Gameweek 27 comes to a conclusion this evening as Brighton and Hove Albion entertain Crystal Palace and Southampton face Brentford.

Kick-off in both matches is at 19:30 GMT.

Virtually all of the Fantasy focus will be on Brighton in the M23 derby but the headline-grabbing team news comes from the visitors, who are without a recognised senior goalkeeper tonight.

Vicente Guaita has picked up a late injury so, with Sam Johnstone already sidelined, it’s 19-year-old youth product and debutant Joe Whitworth who will be between the posts at the Amex.

In Patrick Vieira’s two other changes, Cheick Doucoure returns from suspension to replace Luka Milivojevic in midfield and Odsonne Edouard starts up front in place of Jordan Ayew.

Brighton make two changes to the side that began the 2-2 draw at Leeds on Saturday, with Danny Welbeck and Levi Colwill coming in for the benched Adam Webster and Evan Ferguson.

In the other game, Southampton recall Mohamed Elyounoussi and Ibrahima Diallo at the expense of Romeo Lavia and Theo Walcott.

Brentford’s only change sees Mikkel Damsgaard drop to the bench and Kevin Schade given his first start since his January move.

    Now opta have given the goal to march and seen as the game week isn't over. Why has fpl not given the goal to march? Just saying?

      done and dusted
      move on

      Rules are rules, but rule needs to be changed in future seasons. Should be that any assist/goal can be amended at any time until the gameweek closes.

      1. goldensock
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Totally agree

    3. El Presidente

      I think it's a sham that situations like this one can only be corrected within 24hrs. Why not a week, a month? Technically is effortless to do. Even the football apps have already corrected it. Ridiculous.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Betting might have something to do with it

        As Wild Rover schooled me on the same thing: They can't wait weeks/months/season end to conclude mistakes and add points due to the H2H-leages and Cups within the FPL-universe.

        But within the same GW, and probably also within transfer deadline next GW, shouldn't be any problem IMO.

      3. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Has to be in the same gameweek, the FPL Cup head-to-head results would be thrown in to chaos if you changed scores later down the line.

          exactly
          the game is for free
          dont play it if it p*sses you off

          1. goldensock

            You are the one who's pissed off. Calm down

              ok socksucker

      Won't be added

      I had soucek when he was given a red card which was officially removed but fpl kept it regardless

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        they also missed a yellow card last season which wasn't rectified.

  2. Make United Great Again

    Brighton & Brentford clean sheets with a Toney hat trick. Amen.

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only in our wildest dreams

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Moody Blues. Always loved them.

  3. goldensock
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'm not complaining it's just a valid point. Anyone who plays this game if they had march in their team would feel aggrieved and they should look at changing the rules next season. People saying move on or get over it are only saying that because they didn't own the player in question. It's not hard to make and implement basic rules like this. If it's worth playing the game it's worth scoring it properly

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did you sing Radar Love? Oh sorry, it was Golden Earring.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It didn't change after a Kane goal that Eriksen kept the points for, I doubt it'll change now.

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

      You are exactly 100% right.

      1. goldensock
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Imagine it happened on the final game week and it was the difference between finishing 1st or not. I bet they would do something about it then!

    4. footballcandy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Edit mistakes / close calls / corner cases until next GW transfer deadline should be the standard.

    5. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I agree with your stance. I think the rules should change.

      ....but...you ARE complaining.

    Palace's goalkeeper has only celebrated his birthday four times.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well done, Solly March. He's 4...

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't know Solly March's son was Palace's goalkeeper.

  5. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Palace GK their ball boy?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      he's 19

      so not quite

  6. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you bring in a Leicester mid if you have two Brentford defenders? Seems like you can’t win

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You can, if all three score.

  7. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    haha - our first shot on target in 4 games.

  8. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FPL gods will make sure the next reincarnation of Yashin will be keeping against Brighton

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Palace don't score their 1st shot on target in 4 games...

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Has KING IVAN not scored yet?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      *hatrick loading*

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no

  11. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Seagulls versus Eagles, well alright!

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    From what I've seen it looks like Palace have decided the best form of defence is attack...

  13. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton struggling

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      "Local Derby". Home fans. Palace expected to start hot. Give those Seagulls time.

  14. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Estu yc loading. My bet 27th minute.

  15. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Well Steele owners having a solid start...

  16. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Where Toney points?

  17. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Quick guidance as rules seem a little wooly.

    I have only 5 players GW28, so need to Free Hit.

    So if i first use my 1 FT this week transfer out a player (GW29 single game) today for a GW29 (DGW player)
    ....and then do the Free Hit team - will I still have that transferred player in my GW29 squad or not ??

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      nope after the FH your team will revert to the one that finished previous GW.

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

      Nope

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lively start to the derby...

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

    Steele 3rd save already

  20. Royal5
    • 14 Years

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    MAN OF STEELE

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

    This Brighton clean sheet is looking rather fragile...

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      it is the south coast motorway derby from Croydon way

  23. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come on King Ivan, get me to the tonne already

  24. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ahh man we never gonna score 😀

  25. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years

    Zaha is long overdue...

  26. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton already at the beach.

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They have a very nice beach

  27. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Palace should be at least 2-0 up here

  28. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    God Brentford and Soton look awful

  29. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
