Gameweek 17 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes at Craven Cottage, where Fulham host Nottingham Forest at 20:00 GMT.

Both won last weekend, so let’s take a look at the just-announced line-ups.

TEAM NEWS

Therefore, these sides’ only changes are forced due to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Fulham trio Samuel Chukwueze (£5.3m), Calvin Bassey (£4.5m) and Alex Iwobi (£6.3m) are with Nigeria, so in come Kevin (£5.8m), Jorge Cuenca (£4.3m) and Sasa Lukic (£5.0m).

For the visitors, Ibrahim Sangare (£4.9m) secured 18 points in Gameweek 16, one short of teammate Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m).

That was his goodbye before Ivory Coast duty, and Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) replaces him.

Interestingly, goalkeeper Matz Sels (£4.7m) is back from a groin issue but doesn’t displace John Victor (£4.0m) between the sticks. He sits on the Forest bench.

As expected, Harry Wilson (£5.8m), Raul Jimenez (£6.3m), Joachim Andersen (£4.6m) and Elliot Anderson (£5.4m) all start.

LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Kevin; Raul

Subs: Lecomte, Castagne, Diop, Reed, Adama, Ridgeon, Cairney, King, Kusi-Asare  

Nottingham Forest XI: John; Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Douglas Luiz, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Igor Jesus

Subs: Sels, Morato, Zinchenko, Abbott, Dominguez, McAtee, Bakwa, Kalimuendo, Awoniyi

    Wilson continuing that fine FPL tradition known as The Curse of the Most Transferred In Player.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Ekitike is lining up for next Gw so? 😆

  4. Drizzle

    Can do Thiago/Bruno to Ekitike/Cunha but need to find 0.7m from somewhere.

    A) Raya to Sanchez (or other gk)
    B) Hincapie to Keane
    C) Andersen to Gudmundsson
    D) Semenyo to Kudus or cheaper mid

    1. Fifa las vegas

  5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    10 months, 5 days ago

  6. F4L
    10 months, 5 days ago

    do liverpool bring in a striker in january for ekitike cover or nah? and just play the 2 false 9 thing and chiesa at times up there?

    1. F4L
      10 months, 5 days ago

    2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      10 months, 5 days ago

      They'll find another bench player to sell for 50x what he's worth to fund a new striker probably

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      10 months, 5 days ago

      No need with Eki

  7. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 months, 5 days ago

    Who do we replace BrunoF with?

    Pope
    Timber, O’Reilly, Senesi
    Saka, Bruno, Foden, Wilson
    Haaland, Ekitike, Raul

    Dub, Chalobah, Rodin, King

    1. Fifa las vegas
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Question of the week really…

      1. Fifa las vegas
        10 months, 5 days ago

        I’m coming around to the idea or Gordon now, but my notes risk isn’t ideal with Wissa hanging around, especially at this time of the year.

        1. THE Wild Rover
          10 months, 5 days ago

          Wissa most wonderful time, of the year

    2. THE Wild Rover
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Amazed that this hasn’t been asked before 😯

    3. Nomar
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Semenyo

    4. PartyTime
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Pick the cute one
      Cunha
      Wirtz
      Rogers

      1. MikeS
        10 months, 5 days ago

        Wirtz for a pint, cuhna looks good but man u severely weakened will he get the service? Rogers on form but tough fixtures although they always do well against arsenal as emery hates to lose to the team who fired him

        1. PartyTime
          10 months, 5 days ago

          Might do Wilson to cute Wirtz

    5. brianutd-why always we? 20
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Rogers or Cunha

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 months, 5 days ago

      Cheers, Rogers and Cunha seems to be popular picks

  8. brianutd-why always we? 20

    1. PartyTime
      10 months, 5 days ago

    1. Kaneyonero

  20. Yes Ndidi
    10 months, 5 days ago

    You know what sort of game it’s been when the only goal scorer is 3 points short of any bonus at all.
