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.

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

      On his 15th attempt

    5. Ranger3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      the captain choice was so hard that I chose March because we are in March 😉

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

      Illuminati confirmed!

  13. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton playing out from the back is bad for my ticky ticker

  14. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I swear a couple of these Brighton lads could walk into almost any team out there.

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

      United definitely

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

      A lot of clubs in for MacAllister this summer, I’m sure

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

        Man City already sniffing round - good replacement for Gundogan perhaps.

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

          Whole top 4 should be after him.

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

      top 6

  15. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This german guy will get our boy Toney one penalty.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he’s rapid and very direct

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

    Damn just realised the March goal had barely any rank impact as I don't own Mitoma - damn EO!

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

      I'm captained on Mitoma

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

        Fair play - 2ney (c) looking bleak atm

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

    Yes March(c) although hard to celebrate after 29 point total last week

  18. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    March essential?

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

      essentially he wasn't but he is

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

      Reassess in a couple of weeks...

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

    Because of captain Toney, I have to watch the suffering of the long ball Brentford instead of watching Brighton. I deserve it.

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Suffering from long balls in your face can be a drag indeed

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

      What hurts is I was going to captain March if not for his reported niggle 😀

      But can't complain too much. Had Toney (C) set all week. Was too concerned about Mitoma's previous few games shot/chance creation wise.

      Is what it is.

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

        Yes exactly that last sentence, and had we made a different decision there would have been a different outcome (Toney hauling and Brighton boys blanking)

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

      S&M?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          *Mitoma

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

    How long til 2ney goal I wonder

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

      3 weeks

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

        Great, I’ll celebrate it in advance

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

        Jeez those 3 weeks flew by!

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

    Looking grim as a Toney captainer, his teammates are blind

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

      Blind clowns apparently.

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

      And yet prior to this week Brentford were scoring for fun.

      Unbelievable the impact and pressure this game puts on them!

  22. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Remember, Toney has to score at least three times tonight to make up for my benching of Odegaard and Gabriel, and not captaining Kane, which he caused with his fresh presence in my team 😀

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I will remember

    2. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good to me
      How is he at fault for Gabriel though?

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

      Same (but no Gabriel)

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

      Sure. Daily reminder, set on phone.

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

      why wasn't BB a good option?

      putting those guys on the bench

  23. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Toney blank incoming right?

    Mitoma Haul?
