Gameweek 23 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes to a conclusion with Brentford v Manchester City.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes four changes to the City XI that that beat Burnley 3-1 last Wednesday.

Erling Haaland makes his first start in two months after recovering from a foot injury, while Kyle Walker is also back in the side.

Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva are similarly recalled.

Making way are Rico Lewis, John Stones, Matheus Nunes and Jeremy Doku.

Desite Haaland starting, there is still room in Guardiola’s line-up for all of Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.

Brentford have made just one change to the side that was narrowly beaten by Tottenham Hotspur.

On-loan Sergio Reguilon, who couldn’t play against parent club Spurs, comes into the team for his full debut.

Keane Lewis-Potter makes way.

GAMEWEEK 23 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Flekken, Mee, Collins, Pinnock, Reguilon, Roerslev, Jensen, Norgaard, Janelt, Maupay, Toney.

Subs: Strakosha, Brierley, Fredrick, Yarmolyuk, Baptiste, Damsgaard, Ajer, Zanka, Lewis-Potter.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake, Rodri, Silva, Foden, De Bruyne, Alvarez, Haaland.

Subs: Ortega, Stones, Kovacic, Lewis, Bobb, Nunes, Doku, Akanji, Grealish.

Been playing FPL for over a decade and can't remember the last time I have had 100+ points without any chips involved

102 points after that city game, what a week!

I can't remember having two hat-tricks in my team and still not hitting a century. Defence really poor for me this week.

Still, can't argue with 85.

Enjoy it mate, I ended up on 114. Did you captain Foden too?

I must have missed the memo that we should have benched him!

He made a few wild attempts near the end, probably lost a BPS or two there

  Cheers, seems harsh, especially when he effectively created the first goal

93pts with 31 on the bench I really should be mad !

Orion

Should I drop Alvarez for Adebayo and bring in KDB? That would give me:

KDB Foden Jota Richarlison Saka
Adebayo Haaland Watkins

With enough cash to upgrade Adebayo after DGW…

Some forwards you have. Looks like a good plan.

Decent plan, although ideally would wait until deadline for potential leak
Doesn't seem inconceivable that KDB is benched if Pep is still wary of protecting him after playing 90 for the first time tonight

Would you transfer TAA to VVD for free if it meant you could get Jota for the DGW?
