Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) follows hot on the heels of Wednesday’s action and kicks off this evening, with two matches taking place.

West Ham United v Brentford gets us underway at 19:45 GMT, with Liverpool v Leicester City following quarter of an hour later.

David Moyes makes three changes from Gameweek 17, as Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson Palmieri and Gianluca Scamacca come in for Thilo Kehrer, Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio, all of whom drop to the bench. That suggests a change of shape for the Hammers, potentially to a 3-4-3 formation.

As for Brentford, Thomas Frank makes only one alteration to his starting XI, with Josh Dasilva replacing Vitaly Janelt in midfield.

Over at Anfield, Liverpool make just one change from the side that beat Aston Villa 3-1 on Boxing Day, as Harvey Elliott comes in for Fabinho, who is absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, brings in Wilfred Ndidi and Ayoze Perez for Youri Tielemans and Dennis Praet. Jamie Vardy is once again named among the substitutes, while James Maddison misses out through injury.

  3. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Nunez plays a salah like pass and salah with a nunez like miss

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Not so sure Salah is passing there

    • 8 Years

    1. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Fascinating how the last year has completely written him out of the goat conversation.

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Camels are very different from goats, different temperament altogether

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I prefer goats, far more sexy.

          1. Make FPL Casual Again
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

    No longer FPL content but... Ronaldo to Al Nassr confirmed

    https://twitter.com/AlNassrFC/status/1608933062288769024

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Didn't even realise they were in the Champions League...

    2. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Aside from making a mint, wants to break the all time goalscoring record as well I'm sure

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Probably part of his contract. To score whenever he wants.

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Haha yeah. "Entitled to shoot from any distance, at any time"

      2. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Goals in that league don’t count. I’d get 30.

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          "shouldn't" count. But they will.

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      That's just sad

  6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Soumare had impressed me tonight, looked very solid on the ball and covered a lot of ground defensively

  7. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Let's faes it, Faes is getting impossible to ignore

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      He's certainly looking like a faesable option.

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        That's a bit corny, mate

  10. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

  11. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Robbo off

  12. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      A lot of dead teams out there

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        They should just delete the teams who havent made like a transfer in 10gws or something

      2. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        A lot of them are beating me this season!!

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Robertson off with injury

  14. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Not looking good for the Robbo transfer ins

  15. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    sorry guys, replace James with Robbo and destroyed him

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Not ur fault. I did it too

  16. el polako
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Faes the real O.G.

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    At least he made 60 mins...

  18. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Solid 2 pointer from my James spot

  19. el polako
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    How is Nunez looking, still blind as a bat?

    1. Mirror Man
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Rich mans Solanke

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Solanke’s warming up to do an Andy Cole style release about putting some respect on his name.

          1. Mirror Man
              2 years, 12 months ago

              Rightfully so. I wonder how far down the pecking order we'd have to go before we found a striker who'd be happy to be compared to Nunez.

        2. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          As long as Faes is about to mop up his chances, there's still points to be had here.

        3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I’m just plucking the last few hairs out of my head. Will be making way for a doubler next GW

      • FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Anyone else do James to Robbo?

        Unbelievable.

        1. Chalobah's Witness
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          me.

        2. waltzingmatildas
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Yup. Other option was Shaw.....CS and assist incoming!

        3. jacob1989
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I did james to thiago silva

      • camarozz
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Scarcely believable. James at the restart, 52 mins injured. Took a hit to get Robertson,62 mins injured.

        Seriously?

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Whoever you bring in should last until 72 mins then.

          1. camarozz
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            Or 42

      • jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Seeing that nunez runs a lot and can pass well, klopp put him on right wing, salah cf and whoever is fit on left wing

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          It will be Gapko Darwin Salah

        2. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Gakpo CF if so. Need someobe that actually can score.

        3. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Gakpo in next GW

      • Zoostation
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Robbo to Ream is looking like an option

      • Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Cucurella to be injured next, got him in for Robbo now

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Almost from Nunez... almost hit the parking lot outside the stadium.

      • Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Nunez is unbearable to own … Lordy Lordy son … who told you you were a striker?

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Tell you one thing, he's a fit boy. Perpetual motion

        2. JBG
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Unless someone gets injured in my team. I'm selling for Kane.

        3. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Gone for Mitro most likely if he doesn’t get booked

      • Ady87
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        If Vardy could stop tripping over thin air that would be wonderful.

      • Spg76
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Haaland (C) being only (C) option is snooze festing fantasy out!!!!

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          It’s definitely contributed to even more integrity being taken from the game

          1. jammie26
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            How do you take integrity out of the game.

      • FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Even worse, just realised getting Robbo in now means I can’t afford Martial to Mitro or Almiron to Mount.

        Ouch.

      • _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Play Andreas (lei CHE) ahead of Almiron (ars) next gw?

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I will
