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.

    Saka or Savinho out for Mbuemo?
    Or both out for Mbuemo and Bowen(-4)?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      Both

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years

      Probably both

    Worth a hit to do Savinho > Bowen ?

    If you still had TC where would you be using it now? Can't see any standout games on first look

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      It's probably a bad idea, but I'd be tempted to YOLO it on Saka in 38. But that's a long way off. If he gets injured in 37, you wont be happy, lol.

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 29 days ago

        Or KdB 28

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 29 days ago

          *38

            KDB seems very volatile and hard to predict. But I get it. He could be good. They are fun picks either way.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Use on an attacking player with a fixture against Sou/Ips/Leic or Spurs

        1 year, 29 days ago

        GW36 might be best opportunity. KDB, Wood or Mbeumo.

    Would you do Luis Diaz to Bowen for a hit?

  9. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 29 days ago

    Wissa G

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      Wissa is so good. No surprises.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 29 days ago

        He surprised me, the early adaptor, with returns in 4/14 matches.

          • 13 Years
          1 year, 29 days ago

  12. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Nice way to kill the game by giving red and pen in Utd game for that foul.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      It’s great, still nervous until United get to 5 though

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      Yeah refs should definitely make decisions on whether the game is ruined for BobbyDoesNotLook or not

    3. Radulfo28773
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      Was even worst again Real Sociedad. A not that clear red and three penalties for Utd.

  13. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years

    Forest season imploding.

  14. Sun Jihai

    34 league goals for Mbeumo + Wissa this season!

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      They had 37 goal involvements a while back. So that must be over 40 now.

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 29 days ago

    Best move here? 1.8m ITB

    A. Saka -> Mbeumo
    B. Saka/Sarr -> Mbeumo/Bowen -4
    C. Sarr/Mateta -> Mbeumo/Wissa -4 (keep Saka for 38)

    Raya
    Munoz Gvardiol Milenkovic
    Salah Saka KDB Murphy
    Mateta Marmoush Isak

    Areola Sarr Konsa Kerkez

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 29 days ago

      Forest won't score again this season

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 29 days ago

        interesting thought Mr O'Connell

        They have had a cracking season - I wonder if season finally catching up with them?
