After what seemed like a very long wait, Gameweek 34 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) finally comes to a conclusion tonight at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest v Brentford gets underway at 19:30 BST.

The team news is straightforward for the visitors, who are unchanged following their 4-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Forest meanwhile are given a huge boost by the return to fitness of Ola Aina, who hadn’t featured since Gameweek 30.

The first-choice back-four reunion is complete with a recall for Neco Williams, who was banned for the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

Ryan Yates is also back from a ban, while Anthony Elanga returns to the starting XI after substitute duty at Wembley.

Out go Zach Abbott, Harry Toffolo, Nicolas Dominguez and Danilo.

LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Toffolo, Gibbs-White, Yates, Anderson, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Wood.

Subs: Miguel, Morato, Sangare, Awoniyi, Toffolo, Dominguez, Silva, Sosa, Abbott.

Brentford XI: Flekken, Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Yarmolyuk, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade, Wissa.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Henry, Pinnock, Jensen, Mee, Ajer, Konak, Maghoma, Nunes.

              No, I meant no one cares about your irrelevant point. This is an odd GW with a really late fixture. Don't use that bs as an excuse to award corrupt points.

              You sound like you work there. Probably.

        How's it rightfully so? When red cards in the past have never been deleted because they got over turned.

        If this stays, FPL towers can hang their heads in shame.

          Not deleted because the GW in those cases were over.
          Plenty instances of bonus points changing this season the day after while the GW is still live so why not red cards that are overturned
