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

    What to do here guys? 2 FT and 0.2itb.

    Martial, Rashford and James -> Mitro Mount and Azpli (-4) ?

    Kepa*
    Trippier Cancelo White
    KDB Saka Almiron Rashford
    Martial Darwin Haaland

    Ward James* Andreas* Bueno

    1. Wirtzel Gummidge
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      James > Chelsea def.
      Darwin > Mitro.
      Start Andreas - bench Martial.

      Sit back and watch Fulham get smashed twice probably.

      1. Francescoli
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        But after this week Man Utd have City and Arsenal. Would you rather move Martial to Mitro (especially if you plan on benching Martial this week) rather than Darwin?

        1. Wirtzel Gummidge
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          It's a close call, Darwin seems to divide opinion. Personally I think he's terrible, but plenty seem to like him, better to go with your gut I think 🙂

    2. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would probably leave rashford in for another week and just get mitro and azpi

  2. No Professionals
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kepa
    Cancelo Trippier Shaw
    KDB Saka Rashford Andreas
    Haaland Darwin Martial

    Ward Almiron White Bueno
    1.3m

    Going to take a hit in 20 to get Kane. With this in mind would you do anything more than Darwin to Mitrovic this week (assuming no booking)?

  3. Wirtzel Gummidge
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mitro Dennis vibes.

  4. Ruinenlust
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mitro YC please!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would love to see the early transferrers punished!

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth transferring Saka to Mount to captain in double 19 and then switching back to Ødegaard plus extra cash to upgrade elsewhere?

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes that could work

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds good

  6. Olof Mellberg
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Injured James > Injured Robbo
    Story of 2022.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Robbo is injured too ? Fek it

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He confirmed injured? The Greek Scouser could be a viable short-term punt, if so.

  7. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Exact funds to do James & Foden to Trent & Mount for free.

    Yay or nay?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone??

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Liverpool were dire defensively tonight and against Villa, with Brentford, Brighton and Chelsea next. Do you really want to spend 7.2m on one of their defenders for that run because his cross was comically put into the net through an OG?

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No Trent too expensive with Liverpool seemingly incapable of keeping clean sheet.

  8. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So Elliott gave robbo a dead leg in pre match warm up match which explains the both the poor performance and the sub off
    Could feature against toneyless brentford yet

  9. banskt
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I have 2FT.

    Cancelo, KdB and James are dropping in price tonight. Shall I take the 0.3m loss on the chin or sell James, possibly for Botman?

    1. Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Selling KDB before a DGW is an unwise decision if you ask me

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Can always bring back KDB for the DGW? I’ll be doing that anyway.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could work

    3. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sell James sounds good
      Pretty silly how KDB and cancelo dropping but I'll eat the changes.

  10. hogree
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Flip flop KDB to Mount?

  11. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    before the price changes

    2FT
    James & Nketiah for Mito and cucu

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like those moves, just cautious about Mitro picking up that yellow

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, the whole point of waiting a week to bring him in (and not getting the Southampton fixture) was to make sure he doesn't get a yellow. Doing a move today seems the worst of both worlds.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Totally agree

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't transfer Nketiah out for Mitrovic.

  12. Fellaini's Fro
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Raya
    Cancelo Trip Saliba
    Kdb Salah Almiron Andreas
    Haaland Martial Chadams

    Ward White Bueno Bailey

    2ft 2.3 itb

    A) ward to kepa, play kepa
    B) Martial to havertz
    C) others?

  13. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’d be trying to play both really

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bench Almiron

  14. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Play Andreas or zaha? Cheers.
