A west London derby gets Double Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway.

Kick-off at the Gtech Community Stadium is at 12.30pm BST.

A win for Brentford lifts them, even if temporarily, into sixth place, while Fulham will move level on points with the Bees if they emerge victorious today.

Igor Thiago will draw level on Premier League goals with Erling Haaland if he finds the back of the net this afternoon. Two or more goals would give him an outright lead in the Golden Boot race.

TEAM NEWS

The hosts’ team news is nice and simple, as head coach Keith Andrews has named an unchanged line-up.

Aaron Hickey is back in the matchday squad after a two-month absence, although only as a substitute.

Marco Silva, meanwhile, has made four changes to the Cottagers’ starting XI from the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Antonee Robinson, Josh King, Oscar Bobb and Sander Berge all drop to the bench.

Ryan Sessegnon, Emile Smith Rowe, Sasa Lukic and Tom Cairney take their places.

Raul Jimenez has to make do with substitute duty again, with Rodrigo Muniz keeping his place up top.

LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Kelleher, Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade, Thiago.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Nelson, Ajer, Donovan, Bentt, Shield, Stephenson.

Fulham XI: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Lukic, Cairney, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Muniz.

    Not a single player in my team has a game next gameweek and I’ve already used my wildcard. Would you free hit?

      Just double checking.. I've got 2ft, if I play FH with they both roll over?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 day, 4 hours ago

        Yes

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          1 day, 4 hours ago

          Oh wait, not if one of them is from gw34

          1. tbos83
            • 5 Years
            1 day, 4 hours ago

            I rolled my single ft from last week so am hoping that means I still get 2 next gw?

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              1 day, 4 hours ago

              Nope, if you had rolled two you would carry two, but you don’t get a FT in 34 if you FH

      2. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        Yes - same boat - looking to use in GW35 to adjust squad from GW33 selections

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 day, 4 hours ago

          This will be the second season in a row using BB and having a player randomly going out injured. Two players last year… annoying

      4. Aster
        • 5 Years
        1 day, 4 hours ago

        Why should we believe that?

      6. Raoul Nogues
          1 day, 4 hours ago

          Got him on GW32WC, but sold him this week as I didn't understand why he was substituted after 70 minutes when Newcastle had not won the game yet (which they lost in the end)

      7. GREEN IS GOOD

          Apparently there's an inquiry of hacking going into FPL right now and the hacked accounts are currently locked and unable to open.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            1 day, 4 hours ago

            The hackers were trying to put in double/triple defence from the likes of Bournemouth, Leeds and Brighton. Scallywags

        2. JBG

          1 day, 4 hours ago
