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

    Cash ML leader TRIPLE captained Estupinian

    And my Haaland (C) is now a differential.

    I feel like I should be happy but I'm more scared now that it's so left field lmao.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Has his team been hacked??

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No clue but he's pretty casual ahaha. Only got back into FPL last few weeks after many months of a dead team.

        I'm 22 points behind atm. Fingers crossed.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          good luck!

  11. JBG

    2 years, 10 months ago

    If Kane stays with this team next season, he's a loser.... loyal loses, but loses none the less.

    I don't care if he goes to MU or not, just shouldn't stay with this awful team.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Loser*** fcking autocorrect.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Sometimes best not to open your mouth

  12. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mason lost the job today

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mbeumo 2 + 1

  14. Utopsis
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    My boy Harry down to 1 BP 🙁

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Skipp is awful. Spurs have way too many bang average players like him getting game time.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Reminiscent of the McFred double pivot. Just not good enough.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        We got 2nd and 3rd with McFred, show some respect.

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          World class manager was in though 😉

      2. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I always thought McTominay was alright actually.
        Sadly he’s doomed to be misremembered in years to come as “no not Darren Fletcher, the other one.”

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I thought Bissouma was a talent when playing for Brighton, but he's not really shone for Spurs.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He’s so bad. I get you want a player to try and win the ball in midfield but still. Caicedo is the type of player they need; agile, energetic, sharp, great touch

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'm pretty sure they thought the same of another Brighton CDM a year ago

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Bissouma’s decent. Has he had niggling injuries? Don’t know what’s happened there.

  16. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Probably cost Kane a bonus point there.

  17. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bamford (c) GW 38

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Shhh.
      I was thinking of bringing in Bamford next week if Leeds are still in with a shout!

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Was thinking Harrison punt myself, not captain tho

  18. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So sickeningly unlucky as a Son owner

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    My last season me thinks

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      See you here next season

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I’ll still be here, just manager-less lol

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      So that means the total number of FPL teams goes down from 11 million to 10 next year

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hahah.

      2. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Lol

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lmao

      4. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bravo haha

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Only for 1 of your teams though?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nah just a spectator next season, I miss most deadlines anyway. Going to be finishing the season with 2 of my chips!

  20. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Raya racking up some saves

  21. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ffs Mb second on the bench please Rashford and Wilson stay out

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Odds ain't great there

  22. Roshen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mbeumo increased his value for next season by 1.0 just in one game

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mee denies Porro goal

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      And why did you do that?

  24. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    The guy who predicted Brentford to win 2-1 was WAY off the mark.

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Took an early payout like a pro tho

  25. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    That's 10 pts out of 12 in the 4 games without Toney.
    nfo D 2-2
    LIV W 3-1
    WHU W 2-0 (and over 4 xg)
    spurs W 1-3
    At least 2 goals in each game.
    And Mbeumo and Wissa have both scored in every one of those 4 games. Which will be classified as mids in FPL next year?

    Ready to have the conversation that Brentford might be better (certainly less one-dimensional) without Toney?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They won't be better without Toney.

      NFO are dross
      Liverpool were dross at the time
      WHU were dross at the time
      Spurs are dross

    Someone hoping for a Rashford no show! https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/879357/event/37/

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Out of all the personalities behind the avatars on here I am most curious about you.

      Why do you do this kind of thing?

      It's such alien behaviour to me. Totally bizarre

      But I'm absolutely here for it

  27. Merlin the Wraith
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Still Euro hope for Villa with this Spud meltdown hehee!

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Leeds v Spurs last game too, relegation fight and all. Leeds, not Spurs.

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would be a great achievement for Mr.GoodEbening, specially after where Starfish Boy left them before getting the sack.

    3. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hope you go 3pts closer to it today 😀

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'd love it

  28. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Can’t see Kepa outscoring Raya on my bench!

  29. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Lucas moura should retire with Milner and Firmino

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Milner will never retire.
      He’ll be putting in a shift for Garforth Town when he’s 50.

  30. JOELIO8701
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Really makes me angry that the price of uk sports subscriptions we’re not able to watch 3pm kick offs. It’s a joke

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why do we want to encourage to watch Prem League games only?

      1. JOELIO8701
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        ?

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Plenty of local teams not in the Prem that are trying to encourage the next generation of fans through the gates. Not sure they go if there’s a Prem game on the tv

          1. JOELIO8701
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Then they should play at a different time or offer something more attractive as an alternative… which they do because most people who would watch the 3pms at home don’t go to a local game they do something else instead. The people that want to go to a local game would rather do that than watch a game at home.

            Sky/BT costs far too much money for such diluted viewing access.
