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.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma was the better pick, until last minute.

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

      Two point difference, I'll live.

  7. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

  10. sandman58

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    2. Baps Hunter

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No. Needs another yellow.

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

    Toney C, Steele, March and Estupinan. (Also Pinnock which does not matter.) What a last day of the gw!

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

    GULP. My nearest chaser in the GW has 108 after BAPs, so cut my lead slightly, BUT benched Kepa, Ode, Gabriel and Batman.

  13. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Massive 53 points today - WC26 worked well so far

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years

  14. goldensock

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    87pts and a red arrow... barely, but still. Just because of that Toney last minute assist.

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

      safety for me is 90

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

        88

  16. Snake Juice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ivan ruining the good vibes with his 9th yellow 😆

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

      Eh, he made up for it.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      As usual a pointless one too

    3. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      that assist kind of eased the blow for 2 mins, until we start thinking of next GW lol

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

      I’d rather he got the yellow next game and misses DGW

  17. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    101 points BPL

    not so humble brag

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty crazy that Mitoma outscored March despite March getting 2 goals vs. Mitoma 2 assists this week...

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ah that OG. Was so happy for like a minute

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

        Never an own goal, but FPL history has been re-written.

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

    Anyone 140+ with BB?

  20. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    103 all out. 18 points stuck on bench

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Similar story here and for lots of people …. Those Arsenal points were always going to be telling us we told you so.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ended ok. Im on 104. 19 on my bench.

    3. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  21. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    All of you talking about how you’ve broken the 100 pt barrier, I imagine most of your team is made up of Brighton?

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

      Estu, Mitoma, Steele. And Toney (c).

    2. Sif
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Most of ?
      3 of 11 is 27%
      32 points of 105 is 30%

      So no.

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

      Only Purvis & Mitoma

    4. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. 3 from Brighton and 3 from Bre

    5. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Six of Brentford and Brighton. Lost Arsenal points on bench including Gabriel.

  22. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I might ditch Toney. is he really going to go 2 games without a booking?

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Surely wait until after a BGW when every starter is precious.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on a wildcard

        1. Sif
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Tough call.

        2. Shultan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          If I was on WC would defo ditch for felix/watkins

      2. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My captain for 28.

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

      I mean surely you give him GW28?

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kinda hope gets a booking in 28 to go along with his hatrick. Then decision is made regards 29

    5. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      real choirboy

    6. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On a wildcard too and this means I might as well sell Toney, keep Haaland and go with him, Watkins + Kane. Still have 11 for 28 and good enough for BB 29, with Haaland a nice differential and no need to bring him back.

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

    4/4 wins tonight. Pinnock, Mitoma, March and Toney(c). Luck changing.

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Estu, Raya, Henry, March and Toney (c) managed to just about get me to break even 😆

  24. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Seeing some crazy scores, 77 here. No Brighton defence and only march from Brighton killed me

  25. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    102 pts , green arrow upto 12k.

    Will take that with only one Brighton mid.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very good sir.

  26. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Toney gets YC in GW28 will he then miss dgw29?

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep 2 game ban!

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ok cheers gets easy sell dgw29 to either havertz or haaland

  27. Shultan

  28. I Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone thinking Martinelli (c)? I'm chasing and expect the masses to be on Kane and Saka.

  29. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Well done those with 100 and over. It's a good score!

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That was a rollercoaster last 30 then! 79 then 105 to 109 then 108 then 103 and finally 111. 37 pts last week with no tfs for this week. She's a cruel mistress.

  30. Planet Head
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just 93 but will take it after a terrible start
