We’ve got a bonus Premier League match this evening in the super-late 8pm BST slot.

Brentford v Chelsea rounds off the day’s action.

TEAM NEWS

The Bees have made two changes for this evening’s game, one enforced as Mikkel Damsgaard misses out due to illness.

Dango Ouattara drops to the bench, too, as Keith Andrews channels the spirit of his predecessor by moving to – we think – a 5-3-2 against a big-six club.

Ethan Pinnock and Mathias Jensen come in.

As for Chelsea, Enzo Maresca has made four alterations.

Wesley Fofana and Jorrel Hato are surprise starters at the back, with Malo Gusto and Marc Cucurella dropping to the bench.

Jamie Gittens comes in for the absent Estevao out wide, meanwhile.

And with Cole Palmer only deemed fit enough for the bench, Facundo Buonanotte is given the nod to replace the injured Liam Delap.

Alejandro Garnacho is among the substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Kelleher, Kayode, Collins, Pinnock, van den Berg, Yarmoliuk, Henderson, Jensen, Lewis-Potter, Schade, Thiago

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Henry, Ajer, Janelt, Onyeka, Carvalho, Outtara, Nelson.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Fofana, Hato, Caicedo, Fernandez, Neto, Buonanotte, Gittens, Joao Pedro

Subs: Jorgensen, James, Gusto, Cucurella, Acheampong, Santos, George, Palmer, Garnacho.

    Neto’s blind

      JP open

    2. Twisted Saltergater

      His vision, for a winger, is terrible

  2. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    6 months, 16 days ago

    Neto selfish there

  3. JBG
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 16 days ago

    Fck off Neto! Selfish bunt

  4. Baps Hunter

    WC with injured JSL and Murillo stinking in my team looking more likely now. Cunha to Semenyo done, 0 ft left, idea to BB gw5 means -8 at least.

  5. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 16 days ago

    Rogers>Semenyo for free even before sunderland game?

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 16 days ago

      Sundrrland are good at defence

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 16 days ago

      Villa are struggling to score and Sunderland at home shouldn't be an open defence

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 16 days ago

      Yes

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 16 days ago

      Time changes
      Villa is shite
      Sunderland has good squad now

    5. Silecro
      • 8 Years

      Cheers fellas, done it now, would be priced out tomorrow

  6. Totalfootball

    Shouldn't Enzo be on 12 defcons already ?

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 16 days ago

      He is. The monster! And a BP too.

    Really feel like I need to get Semenyo in, especially since my main rival has him. I still have my wildcard but don't want to use it yet so could always get him in then, but how much is he likely to continue to rise.

    To get him in, I could do either:

    A) Munoz>Guehi, Sarr>Semenyo (-4)
    B) KDH>King, Diouf>Alderete, Sarr>Semenyo (-8)
    C) Hold off a few weeks and bring in on wildcard.
    D) WC now and being in Palmer too

    Let me know thoughts ASAP please as have the exact funds for A and B so would have to do tonight before the rise. Thanks!

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 16 days ago

      A

    2. Camzy

      Anywhere else to find the funds? 1m you can find in better places than those you've offered.

      1. antpro26
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 16 days ago

        Not really, unless I do Reijnders to King and play KDH every week?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 16 days ago

          No Watkins or Villa deadweight?

          1. antpro26
            • 14 Years
            6 months, 16 days ago

            Nope, shipped them out a while back luckily!

            Full team

            Petrovic (Dubravka)
            Munoz, Tosin, Diouf, VDV, Esteve
            Salah, Sarr, Reijnders, Gakpo. KDH,

    Neto can’t hit the target to save his life, just repeatedly smashes the ball off the opposition.

  11. Weeb Kakashi

    Only if I had gone JP at the start instead of the clown Watkins.

    31 points vs 8. Terrible player.

          • 8 Years

          Garnacho was the one crossing it before it came off Brentford defender
