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.

    Is Kepa, Chill and James in a GW28 WC overkill if Bemch Boosting 29?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not if the wingbacks start all 4 games in 28, 29 & 30.

    2. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’d worry about James’ minutes & wouldn’t go there

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't call him nostalgy pick, but with his current role I will steer clear.

    3. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Feels a little overkill, maybe just go Kepa and Chillwell.

      James is made of glass.

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just Kepa & Chilwell

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

      I would

    6. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell & James, go a different Keeper.

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That’s a very interesting suggestion. Might do that to reduce my exposure and yet give a bit of upside. Cheers.

    7. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks All.

    8. Snake Juice
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      On a WC, I'd go Chillwell, James, and Havertz

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Interesting also. Might take out Kepa. Would like Havertz but right now Watkins ahead due to his away form.

  2. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can’t wait for mine Zaha points.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  3. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Klop might as well rest his players to finish strong in PL, UCL is gone!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, still in with a shout of the Europa Conference League

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  5. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wellbeck is destroying Bri attack. He needs to be taken off!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He is clearly A-League quality.

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

        Central Coast Mariners

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          There are two new teams coming soon, one of those perhaps.

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

            Wollongong Wolves, hopefully.

            1. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Nope. Canberra and Auckland.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    7 more completed passes and Estu is on for 3 BAPs.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It is the hope that kills...

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

  7. My heart goes Salalalalah

  8. BeaversWithAttitude

    1. Ejaaz11
      • 10 Years

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I don't! That's why I'm savouring them! Never know when a clean sheet might get soiled!

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Told you. It's a feast tonight.

    3. Fit_to_drop

      • 9 Years

      Which game?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Brighton

  14. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you swap MacAllister > March on a wildcard? Got Mitoma also.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No way

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wasn't everyone doing March > MacAllister about 2 hours ago?

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lol, people were asking the opposite last gw

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        People, very specific.

    4. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m on WC and going the other way. Why? I’d March playing really well?

  15. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Goals by Mitoma and Mee would be great now

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This

  16. TheTinman

    1. tomietucker
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully, might have to switch for one of the mids if he gets nothing tonight

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Brighton haven't kept a CS in their last 11 games against Palace!

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Every run comes to an end

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They are due(?)

    Pervis offside, -1 baps

  19. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  20. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Estu to Mitoma close

  21. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What a touch from Estupinan!!

  22. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mac was so close. Great save.

  23. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    People on WC keeping funds for Salah? Just can't decide...

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No pool at all for me

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yah, I can't seem to own Pool players at the right time. The stars don't align that often! A hard pass for me.

  24. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Alcaraz off. Brentford CS confirmed

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Never seen a more nailed on clean sheet than this Brentford one

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jinx attempt detected

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Guilty. Wasn't shrewd enough to double on their defence unfortunately.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't jinx it then

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sshh

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Estupiñán bonus has loaded up

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      An early sub and Palace goal would be neat

  27. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Brighton really need to kill this game off with a 2nd

  28. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Where are all the goals?!

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

      Haaland stole them

  29. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    JWP do your thing.

  30. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If the current scores hold, that'd be juuuuust fine with me (Steele, Estu, Toney, Mitoma owner). Kthx.

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

      Who's your cap?
