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.

    On a WC. Any glaring issues?

    Kepa
    Zinchenko - Trippier - Chilwell - Castagne
    Saka - Martinelli - Maddison - Almiron
    Watkins - Kane

    Steele, Haaland, Shaw, Rashford

    0.4 ITB

    1. Red Star Toro

      interesting to keep Haaland on a WC and no Toney. I wouldn't dare. Otherwise excellent.

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

        Too much value tied in Haaland to have to spend to replace him. But am I missing something? So many teams are going without for the next two...

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

          I was going to lose him for a couple of weeks but those 5 last night have unnerved me.

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

            Lol, you and me both!

              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              But too late for me tho, I’ve already binned him!

          0.3 is problem only for poor

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

            Of which I am one 😀 0.4, btw.

          2. RICICLE

            This

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

      Betting on Leicester finally keeping a clean sheet?

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

        More like no other good option for 4.8 and under in the interim who'd also give me a DGW player in 29. But half-considering just going with White.

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

          Oh, wait, no I'm not. Forgot I had Zinny.

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

          Estupiñán is 4.8 with 2 additional DGWs to schedule

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

            Be a shame to get him right back for an extra 0.1 after I just got him out, but you might be on to something (I say as Whitworth saves from him).

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

              Problem with Estupinan, though, is I don't have an 11 to field in the BGW if I go for him now. Can always get him next week.

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

                10 is honestly fine. How many mire points could Estupiñán score over Castagme till season-end?

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

                  As I said, I can always get him next week.

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

                    Fair enough, don't love booking transfers esp when Leicester not likely to keep a CS anyway though

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

                      Could always go for Pinnock, but a bit counter-intuitive with Maddison unless I treat it as a massive hedge. Problem is, any time you do that, you're just asking for a nondescript 1-1.

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

      Smart to keep Erling imo. Big differential against Pool

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

        I can always swap Watkins for Toney if either presents a case next GW.

  2. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Palace had got the red card, Brighton assets would be running amuck.

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

      Palace very luck and very bad officiating

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

    March cappers have been robbed of a monster haul this GW.

    We move

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2 goals and still greedy for more 😉

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

        Two goals is correct

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

      they probably sold Salah and Nunez the week before

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

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years

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

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

    Estupinan not having a good game

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

  17. Rainer

    3 years, 1 month ago

    March could lose another goal.

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

      No ways

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

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  25. wakenbagel
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think there's a problem communicating with VAR and the goal-line tech caused by the outage. It will be fixed

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