After six weeks without a Premier League match, we now get 30 of them in the space of 11 days.

The action gets underway at the Brentford Community Stadium at 12:30 GMT, with Tottenham Hotspur making the cross-capital trip to west London.

The Bees have lost only one of their seven home matches this season, a 3-0 reverse to Arsenal in September.

Three wins, three draws and three clean sheets, along with 13 goals scored, have arrived in their other half-dozen home fixtures.

Goals tend to follow Spurs around on their travels, with 10 scored and as many conceded in their seven away matches.

But this corresponding fixture last season ended, you guessed it, 0-0.

As for the all-important team news, Antonio Conte is able to call upon many of the Spurs players who were away at the World Cup.

Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Eric Dier and even Ivan Perisic, who was in action for Croatia just nine days ago, all make the starting XI today.

As previously advertised, however, Hugo Lloris is only on the bench and Cristian Romero isn’t available for selection after their involvement in the World Cup final.

Fraser Forster and Japhet Tanganga get rare starts in their places.

Brentford’s last league game was a win over Manchester City in mid-November and there are unsurprisingly not many changes to that starting XI.

Christian Norgaard replaces Frank Onyeka in Thomas Frank’s one and only alteration.

Ivan Toney is available for selection and starts, despite an FA charge hanging over his head.

GAMEWEEK 17 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Pinnock, Mee, Jorgensen, Henry, Jensen, Janelt, Norgaard, Roerslev, Toney, Mbeumo.

Subs: Cox, Goode, Da Silva, Wissa, Jansson, Damsgaard, Canos, Ghoddos, Lewis-Potter.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster, Doherty, Lenglet, Dier, Perisic, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Tanganga, Son, Kulusevski, Kane.

Subs: Lloris, Royal, Sanchez, Davies, Sessegnon, Matar Sarr, Skipp, Gil, White.

  2. Sandy Ravage

    Route to DGW players:
    DGW19 - Rashford/ Odegard > Mitrovic
    DGW20 - Mitrovic + Shaw > Nketiah + Akanji

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Not a fan of this

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Me neither

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years

      That DGW 20 move lol

  3. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Perisic playing well

    1. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      He would be a good option if Spurs knew how to defend

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Save for Raya!

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      🙂

  5. dansmusen

    7 from Kane is OK as non owner with KDB as my replacement.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Kane owners very unlucky

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Agree - should have scored another goal & got 3 BAPs but for the post

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      My replacements are Martial, Mount and Cancelo over Kane, Almiron and Castagne. Not loving that

    3. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      same, just need my combination of KDB, Martial to beat Rashford, Kane

    4. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Also ok as an owner

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    2pts dropped.

    Poor result for Brentford.

  7. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Of course I brought Callum Wilson in, should have known better to go anywhere near this crooked\cursed\ red flags collector.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      So annoying that Mitrovic starts too! Would have just gone him if I'd known

  8. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Just waiting for my Kulu assist and baps...

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      You do that...

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      the'll surely be added very soon!

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Clear assist.

  9. tokara
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Any word abt Wilson

  10. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Wtf no kulu assist?! Here we go again!

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      As clueless as ever I see 🙄

  11. Bluetiger1
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Kane possible now just 1 BAP

  12. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    1/4

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 18 days ago

      2/4

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 16 days ago

        3/4

  13. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    got Wilson because Mitro is a 'doubt'. And now wilson not even in squad. This is some sick joke

  14. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Thank God I took out Wilson. Once injury prone, always injury prone.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      This is the issue with him. He’s always a transfer out waiting to happen.

      And usually it happens very quickly.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      He’s ill

      1. Fatboy_Slim
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Yup...should be back vs Leeds at home

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Did you take him out for the ever reliable Martial lol?

  15. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    I spend ages trying to decide between Wilson or Kulu this week. It's all a bit meh really.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      It's literally all luck

  16. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Mitro vs Wilson gone wrong already.

    Welcome back FPL

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Mitro not played yet. Could get an OG, miss a pen then get sent off yet.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Mitro will get suspended, dont worry

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      honestly just feck off fpl,all a waste of time

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        So what are you doing here?

        1. Jordan.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          trying to regain enthusiasm,but failing

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        keep soldiering on. what else you gotta do?

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      People on here made it sound like Mitro was confirmed as out

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        You were one of them

  17. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Why did loads of people switch from Bueno to Patterson?
    I thought Bueno was the cool pick.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      A lot have both.....

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I took Patterson out last minute but kept Bueno.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Shortbread goes well with chocolate

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      I have both

  18. Jambot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Very harsh on the Kulu assist there? Makes the game less fun taking that away as an assist

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Very harsh indeed, no doubt we’ll see some given for a lot less

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      If that’s not assist then a rebound assist shouldn’t be an assist too

      1. Serresiete
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        100%

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      aint been any fun since august ,of course i got him in over 4m rank a complete sh*tfest season

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        started well

    4. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Why wasnt it an assist? I don't have him but looked a clear assist

  19. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Questioning my choice of going with Darwin over Cancelo seeing the ownerships..

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Don't be such a sheep, give it two weeks, if not working switch Darwin and Patterson to Greenwood and Cancelo.

  20. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Just wait and see to Callum Wilson be back in starting XI against Leeds only just to pull a hammy in the warm up.

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Non Kane owners very lucky, should of had a pen and he hit the bar!

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      No guarantee he'd score the pen...
      That ball could have been stull flying over west London.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Kane never misses a pen..... Oh

  22. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Did Kulu's assist get removed?

    1. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      it did

    2. Serresiete
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      It will come back 🙂

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Unfortunately it did

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Wow now I remember why I hate FPL

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Wonder which Leicester turns up today. They were looking good before WC.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      There team doesn't look great, Newcastle's does

  24. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    If that's not an assist for Kulu as it wasn't his intended target, then surely rebounds from shots shouldn't be assists for the same reason?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Two different circumstances though (Kulu owner)

    2. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      They have assists when OGs are scored, even when the attacker did not mean to pass to the defender!

  25. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Was hoping to roll ft but now, like everyone else, will be doing Wilson > Mitro

  26. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    really wish fpl would allow subs throughout the gameweek similar to champs league and world cup. Enough of this lineup predicting

  27. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Couldn’t watch the game. How did Kane look? Worth his spot?
    Thanks guys

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Absolutely worth it, unlucky not to get another goal and 3 bps

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Good to know. Thanks mate

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Should have had another pen and hit the bar. Hat-trick on another day.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        *a pen, not another

  28. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 19 days ago

    Those who watched it, how did Kane look?

    1. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Worth keeping

  29. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    Wait....where's Callum Wilson?

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      ate too much turkey

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      Ffs, ill again! I should have stuck with Toney, don't know why I let the fixtures rule my heart!

  30. artvandelay316
