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

        It’s like my mate, he bought and TC’d Foden this week lol, I thought a very sensible decision and better form than Haaland, yet he just lucked out.

      3 months, 6 days ago

      Eh? Didn’t have that my end

    • 9 Years
    3 months, 6 days ago

    Lmao Wilson still hasn't scored after that

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 6 days ago

    milenkovic are you taking the piss

    3 yellows in 4. had barely any yellows since joining the prem as well 😐

  12. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 6 days ago

    Milenko Red surely

  13. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Didn't realise Wilson had that many transfers in, 1.5m!
    All time records in FPL is about 2m transfers in from memory (Ronaldo when added to the game in 2021) and so that's a huge volume

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 6 days ago

      Luckily had him 4 weeks now…

  14. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 6 days ago

    Wilson subbed 🙄

  15. Captain Mal
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 6 days ago

    DC for Anderson/Andersen

  16. DBry
      3 months, 6 days ago

      Help me out here please.

      Original plan was to FH 19

      Raya,Dub
      VvD,timber,nunes,Keane,Rodon
      Foden,Saka,Bruno,Gruno,Anderson
      Bowen,Guiu,haaland

      That team used two free changes on Saturday night

      So here’s the options

      Bring in Ekitike and a£5.2 or lower mid for Bruno and Guiu for a -4 and complete that team. Could just bring in Cunha, no hit.

      Or free hit out this week and roll the 3ft to next week, which would also bring back Thiago and Chalobah.?

    • tucaoneo

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
