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.

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

      Given it's a fair distance between the two games, I'd say so

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

      St Mary's and the Amex aren't that far away tbf and Estupinan does have a fair old kick on him - not impossible

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

        To be fair, we've had less contentious assists given then someone crossing it from anothet stadium

    5. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks terrible

  18. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Doucoure should be on 3 YC. Well done ref, you are officially the stupidest guy on the pitch

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

      Play to the whistle!

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

    Doucoure must think there is a golden card award at the end of the season

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

      There isn't?

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

        They really need to inform him and Palhinha soon

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

    Why is officiating in England so bad?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Brexit.

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Many of the refs are useless and some are corrupt

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Refspiracy

    3. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We insist on only British officials rather than using best in class.

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

        That’s actually a good point. They should allow referees in from any country.

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

          Foreign referees, coming over here and sending our foreigners off...

  21. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who does better over 28+29 combined?
    A) Salah, Watkins
    B) Maddison, Haaland

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

      Salah Watkins.

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B for me

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

      A

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

    The goals are great but it's the clean sheets that will make it matter.

  23. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Camavinbar

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Great save

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

    Not worthy of Alisson's greatness!

  25. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Let’s hope Bentford’s CS gets wiped out

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thats the spirit

  26. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Yo Toney... WAZZZUUUUUUP! 😆

  27. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best option?
    A. 10 players in GW28 and 13 DGW players in 29
    B. 11 players in GW28 and 12 DGW players (Odegaard)

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

      B

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

      B

      Leeds at home is just as good as a double

  28. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Liv you know you are 3 goals down right ..... where is the urgency?

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

      Beating Man U 7-0 is the only trophy they could be arsed with this season.

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

        This

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

        That was the game of a lifetime ..... enjoyed it to the core 🙂

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

          Best part was Bruno being reduced to a whining toddler who stopped playing and wanted to be subbed, all the while being captain of the team !!

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

        Nobody mentioned 7-0, clearly living in your head rent free

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

          Huh? Nobody had to mention it directly did they, it was a jokey reference. And I'm not a Man U supporter as you appear to be suggesting.

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

    Best time to play TC and FH if you still have them?

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

      FH32
      TC whenever you feel right, quite a few DGW

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

      Haaland 34 TC.

      FH32, team depending of course.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'll probably TC Haaland in 34 if WHU (H) is added, and FH32 (probably too many blankers)

  30. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    March, now go and score one more for this game. Only fair to owners

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

      Nah he's had his fill, Mitoma winner

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

        How's March had his full when Mitoma is outscoring him?

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

          Because I have Mitoma (C) and do not own March.
