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.

      My first ever successful first on here. Now I need a Chris Wood hatty and Brentford goal with no Mbuemo or Wissa involvement to make it a perfect evening.

    Pep for AM or give Glasner a go for the table bonus, it’s not very likely though is it?

      I've gone for Pep, City should win and at least score plenty of goals in the next 3. Will still be a decent points haul if they can add 1 or 2 clean sheets.

        That is all true, want to do Sarr > Mbeumo out of fear as much as anything, so will have to use my second FT to get money back, Mateta > Wissa maybe

        I’ve already put Pep in! Wasn’t really worth the risk, at least I likely won’t need to waste a transfer on AM, unless I risk a table bonus on the 3rd week

    Got the right money for the below moves and means I bench Saka for a -4 though.

    A. Sarr > Mbuemo
    B. Mateta > Wissa

    Or

    1. Saka > Mbuemo (no hit)

      If looking for a cheap forward then ask the question is Vardy the better pick over Evanilson, Raul, Welbeck, Strand Larsen or Delap? For me it's a no.
