The final Double Gameweek of the season kicks off in north London, although the lunchtime match will be of relatively little interest to Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers compared to what is still to come on Saturday and Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford gets underway at 12:30 BST.

Harry Kane is, of course, still well-owned, and he unsurprisingly starts for the Lilywhites.

The rest of the Spurs team news was less predictable as Ryan Mason has made four changes and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Cristian Romero are nowhere to be seen.

Pedro Porro is benched, meanwhile, along with Richarlison.

Dejan Kulusevski, Arnaut Danjuma, Yves Bissouma and Davinson Sanchez are all recalled.

As for the Bees, they begin life without the suspended Ivan Toney, who is now serving an eight-month ban.

Thomas Frank was without his star striker last weekend because of a hamstring injury and he largely sticks with the same starting XI that defeated West Ham United, with this looking like a rare occasion when he hasn’t used a 3-5-2 against a big-six side.

The only alteration sees Mikkel Damsgaard replaced by the more defensive-minded Frank Onyeka in midfield.

GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster, Emerson Royal, Sánchez, Lenglet, Danjuma, Skipp, Bissouma, Davies, Kulusevski, Kane, Son

Subs: Austin, Richarlison, Perisic, Dier, Porro, Tanganga, Moura, Sarr, Craig

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Pinnock, Mee, Henry, Onyeka, Jensen, Janelt, Schade, Mbeumo, Wissa

Subs: Strakosha, Dasilva, Zanka, Ghoddos, Ajer, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Roeslev, Trevitt

      Timing

  2. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you have played Wilson or Jesus this week?

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

      Yes, but I only have Wilson and Isak.

    2. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, I would never have owned Jesus.

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

    Who are you thinking about bringing in and cpt next gw?

    Probably Saka 'punt' here

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

      Triple captain Salah

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

        Nice

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

      Think Arse will be done emotionally should the Man City do the business. Think you're better off punting on someone with something to play for.

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

        Yeah could be right, but last home game you never know, also no ones own him anymore in my ml

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

        Not so sure about that. Will have had plenty of time to come to terms with the fact that realistically it’s over and the manager will probably want them to perform for their fans as a thank you.

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably doing Mahrez & Mitoma to Odegaard & Eze/MGW depending on what teams are still playing for something. Gakpo could be an option if I decide not to go for Ode.

      Will probably captain Salah.

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

        Was thinking about Gakpo as well, but saka feels 'safer' to bring in

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, it depends on whether Liverpool are still in the hunt for top four or not. I'm assuming Firmino gets his Anfield send off today.

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

            Yeah thinking the same

      2. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. If Forrest are safe, then I'll be captaining Eze.

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

      wait for this GW results

      Maddison the Fraud could be good option (on paper) once again

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

    Where will Kane play next season do you think?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs

    2. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Man Utd

      1. Sure You Did
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure he wants to step down.

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

      Striker I reckon

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

        Ahahahahaha

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

          Crack up round here.

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

      Head says Spurs, heart says Yanited

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

      This is like his 3rd or 4th 'final' season for Spurs..

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

      PSG

  5. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Went Antony over Bruno because I didn't want -4 or to get rid of Salah, hoping it doesn't cost me...

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

      I’m in the same boat but I think it could

    2. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Then again I think Salah + Antony outscores Bruno + anyone else

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have double United defense and no Bruno so yeah I'm kinda worried...

  6. Roshen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    already feel how tough it will be to chose between Kane, Haaland, Salah, TAA, Rashford and Arsenal mids next season without cheap Brighton assets

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

      Will make the game more interesting I think

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

        I think they'll just lower the prices of everyone so people can fit in all their favourites

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

          That won’t happen. It’s going to be a case of who you can afford after Haaland or do you do the highly silly thing and build a team without him.

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

            They'll put Haaland at 13m max because they don't want casuals to get annoyed building their teams.

      2. Roshen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hope there will be 5.0 Reece James trap

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          No European football and Poch using attacking fullbacks at Spurs means that the trap is being set. I'll probably bite as well!

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

            James, Chilwell, Mount let's goooooo

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      True. Plus Newcastle players will be more expensive. I doubt Chelsea players drop much in price, except for Sterling.

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

      People were here one year ago talking about the challenge of fitting in Son or Chelsea assets. All change next year

    No Rashford with squad.

    Shocking, not.

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

      All set for him 1 point cameo against Chelsea

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

      Trippier off the bench for me 😎

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

        Rash 1-pointer vs Chelsea

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

      Glad I benched him

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      pointless tweet after the deadline

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

        Indeed

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

        It's about giving team news for an actual game of football, not everything is FPL.

  8. gooberman

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Kane FFS. 1 goal isnt enough. I need hauls!! Always just 1 goal.

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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      Apparently it's a frontline of Sancho - Martial - Antony

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

      Rashford not in squad

      1. MIGHTY JOE

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

    Spurs hopes of making the U(e)CL hanging by a thread.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The best place for Spurs to finish this season would be 7th.

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

      Delusional fans think they're above it anyway

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years

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

          We are if we finish top 4, that's how qualification works.

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

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

    Is there a slower keeper than Forster?

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

      Lloris?

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lorises are very slow.
        Cute though.

      Arsenaly is the politically correct term now.
