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.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Coufal, Rice, Paqueta, Emerson, Bowen, Benrahma, Scamacca

    3. Pablitto
      • 15 Years

      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Once he finds shooting boots big hauls will come. Involved in most attacks. I am keeping as don’t want to miss haul when it inevitably comes

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

      Could have had a lot more than a lucky assist, quite unsure what to do with him myself. I can move him to Kane now, but I feel like he will have a big game soon enough

  4. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Oh what could have been Darwin.

    Rinse, repeat.

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

      Still an enjoyable watch even as an owner

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

        You sure?

  5. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Darwin to who? Have Kane and Haaland

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

      Mitro or Havertz

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        This

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

      Depends on Mitro and his desire for a YC v Soton.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Mitro

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      No, why would you get rid of him?

  6. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Faes has powered his way up to 1 BPS. Amazing that he's not on a negative BPS score anymore

    1. OlonsoFuneral
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      That is Ward not Faes

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

        Oh oh...

  7. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    How many weeks will Henderson miss from that? Should be at least 6-7 weeks out, right? Practically got his head chopped off

    1. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

  8. 3 A
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Congrats to Nunez owner with the hattrick of missing chances... Hahahahaha.. and accidental assist too.

    He will score bla bla bla 😀

    Maybe he will score but at low rate so cheaper striker is better. LOL.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Robbo isn't good value with the lack of CS
        Also Tsimikas a risk next match given its on Monday?

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Tsimikas will play for sure, got to see how long Robbo is out for before even thinking that wau

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

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

    4. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years

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

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      James to Robbo not far behind

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Agree - however no PFL for Salah but another win for Liverpool about results as the juggernaught starts to roll to the finish

  12. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Darwin haul

  13. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    4 minutes was way too little here, and then Pawson blows exactly at the minute

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Good job I forgot deadline - was going to make Salah Captain

  16. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    I suppose I'll take that with a Darwin A, Salah blank (non-owner).

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Thanks for letting us all know

      1. nerd_is_the_werd
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        You are very welcome

  17. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    It's just pure comedy at this point... hope Liverpool can get Diaz and Jota back to oust this Uruguayan clown

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

      He did more than salah though

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

    Well I'm very glad Salah hasn't punished me again this week. It's only 5 points from Darwin but at least it's a return.

    Think he'll be shifted to Mitrovic through. As decent as his overall play has been that conversion is painful - as well as Liverpool looking iffy. Although Gakpo could help a bit.

  19. jimmy12
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Keeping Darwin, next week is the one

    1. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah will be a classic case of shifting him out then he’ll score a brace and an assist

    2. Firminooooo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I love him. Big haul soon.

  20. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

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

      The magic question

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      C or keep?

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

    Ward 1 bonus. I'll take it

  22. putana
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

  23. Atimis
    • 9 Years

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I am doing Darwin > Havertz

  24. NZREDS
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Who is more frustrating to own:

    A) Zaha
    B) Darwin

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Digne

      1. NZREDS
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Hahah yeah he’d be well up there

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

      James

  25. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Nunez much better than Salad tonight

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

    Not often you go away to Anfield, score 3 goals and still lose...

    1. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      :D:D not often at all!

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Toney the most transferred in player for GW19 so far...

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      interesting to make transfers prior to game finishing?

  28. onceuponatyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Any Faes owners want to show their faes?

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

    There have been signs all season that Liverpool are on the decline. Yet many are still happy to invest 21m in 2 Liverpool attackers when there is much great value to be had from significantly cheaper midfielders and forwards. Mind boggling. Hope you are enjoying the value you are getting.

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

      Its the hope that kills u. Darwin will come good. Depends if y still have him by then.

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

    Should have played bueno then after all.
