There’s one more Gameweek 26 match to go and it’s a pretty big one for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Brentford v Fulham is the fixture in question, with kick-off set for 20:00 GMT.

Four Brentford assets boast ample ownership in the top 10k (see below) – Ivan Toney, David Raya, Ben Mee and Rico Henry – and all of them are part of Thomas Frank’s starting XI tonight.

The only change from the side that started in Gameweek 24 sees Mikkel Damsgaard come in for Josh Dasilva, who drops to the bench.

He sits alongside Pontus Jansson and Frank Onyeka, who return as substitutes after recovering from respective hamstring injuries. 

As for Fulham, they make three alterations from the 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Sasa Lukic comes in for the suspended Joao Palhinha, while Manor Solomon and Aleksandar Mitrovic replace Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Carlos Vinicius in attack.

GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Pinnock, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Damsgaard, Jensen, Mbeumo, Wissa, Toney

Subs: Cox, Schade, Dasilva, Onyeka, Jansson, Ajer, Baptiste, Janelt, Roerslev

    Is Andreas the greatest ever 4.5 mid in fpl?

    In other seasons he would be 100% owned

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      In with a shout. 12 returns already

  2. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    You could not make it up this week.

  3. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    -1 goal for Toney and Brentford defenders

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wasn't Toney on 3 bonus? Looking like he'll be lucky to scrape 1 now

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yep. If Toney drops to zero baps then that is a huge result

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

  8. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Vinivious dropped to 26 so Toney now on 2bps again

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Or do they all get 1?

      1. Scalper
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        1

      2. Rupert The Horse

        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Probably the worst game week I can ever remember! Nearly everything went wrong right up to the 99th minute

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      For me also. At least Raya got 3rd save, so lost only 3 pts with that last goal.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I went Sanchez!

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          So did I...

  10. FourLokoLeipzig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Brought in 2 Brentford defenders (not Pinnock), enabling me to sell Robertson and bench Pereira. Really no idea what I was thinking in hindsight

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What are you on about. Those were sensible moves at the time

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Really? Was regretting it even before the gameweek started to be honest - think I was trying to cover the wildcarders more than gain points. Ended up losing 15

    2. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Should pay over the next few weeks, assuming Brentford haven't forgotten how to defend. Took out Darwin myself, that hurt. Still somehow more than halved my OR

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hope you’re right. Just annoyed I did it for such low ceiling players

  11. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Andreas subbing in for Eddie 🙂

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Enjoy the Jam! Hardly seen a worst pair of assists lol.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        First one he was unlucky not to score tbh

        1. Lord of Ings
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Tbf yeah that was a good free kick, the second one though…

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Congrats!

  12. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like Toney on 2 bonus, joint with Norgaard and Vinicius

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Vinicious from 27 to 26 now, yes.

  13. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Credit both teams - as far as MNF goes, that was at least entertaining albeit short of quality.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      hard to have a good match when Brentford make sure the ball is only in play for 25 mins each half

      away fans should demand a half price refund from the pl authorities, piss take

    2. bombonera
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That's the worst game with 5 goals in it that I've ever seen. Dreadful match

  14. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    i've been hammered in my mini league this GW. Absolute tonking 🙁

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I bet you’re nicely set up though.

  15. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Raya rescues 3 saves

  16. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    5 fekking points lost there,(c) toney + henry 8mins injury time ,christ this season

  17. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why did Toneys baps drop so much?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Winning goal

    2. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lost the winning goal baps

    3. Smokey_Lowkey
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Lost winning goal bonus.

    4. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cos he's not benching much

    5. brixtonBob
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jensen’s goal is now “the goal that wins a match” which gets extra points in the bonus points system.

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No longer winning goal.

  18. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Toney on 2 bonus as it stands. Lots can change though.

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years

        Yeigh

  19. Samsonite
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Yeah Vinicius should def be on 2 bps….lmao this game

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The bonus points are still a joke. Toney got penalised for taking a shot from the half way line.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        It was off target though...?

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks, you just explained the bonus points system. That wasn't the point of my post.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            How is the system broken? He had a shot, it was off target. If the ball went in from there, would you like extra points then for such an audacious goal or would you not want the points because it was "lucky"?

            1. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              System design is broken. That was good effort, bonus system shouldn't punish because of trying to score.

              1. Zenith UK
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                So Salah shouldn't be punished for having 110 shots a game and only getting 5 on target?

    Are you finding twitter website not opening and fpl live rank website not available?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No. Mainly as I don’t use either.

      LiveFPL league page is working, but not the rank page. That's having an issue/having a traffic spike - been a load balancing* redirection set up to www2.

      *Ragabolly has been mentioning a new solution lately. I presume load balancer is what is is but just a guess.

      Twitter seems to work on my mobile app but the app working doesn't mean the web would be

  21. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    55 point all out. Happy with it.

    Was on 52 before the liverpool game but can’t get too greedy.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      66 here. It’s alright, I guess.

      1. Planet Head
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        67 here, still annoyed at taking Darwin out but can't complain overall I guess

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just add another.

  23. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Andreas double assist is HUGE for me.

    According to LiveFPL I'm at 241K GWR (my 3rd best this season), what a rocky road it has been this season so far. Finishing this week back in the top 1M for only the SECOND time this year. Top 100K OR is going to be a mighty but looking forward to giving it a go!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's doable mate, I've gone 1.8m to 300k in 6 weeks, and I've still made some absolute blunders!

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That's huge! Love that for you man!

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Brilliant stuff.

      1. Zenith UK

        We got this!

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You’ll easily make it mate

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Robe Wan! Only FH & BB left though! Imagine I TC'd Salah last week and not last night!

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Always a great time of the season to make strides. Keep it going!

      1. Zenith UK

        This is true, thanks!

        I'll grab your hand and stop you from slipping!

    6. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The worst thing for me is,
      im around 400k, but dont have the feeling (like other seasons) i made plenty of stupid decisions, and mostly im content with the moves i made.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        400K is a good rank out of what, 11M players? I finished top 25K this season and top 14K the year before that so was hoping to keep improving and sitting around those top ranks but alas I've been blasted this year! 🙁

        1. Free Hat
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Its not bad, but not where i want to be. But its getting extremely difficult by the year.
          But for me, beneath 100k is the min i am for.
          But looking at other experts, getting a top 10k is proving to be very hard

  24. George James
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez owners who were planning on playing him in 27 and bench boosting in 29 what are you thinking of doing with him?.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Moved him onto Alisson, Liverpool DF looks solid, Forest at Home in BGW32

    2. Samsonite
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have a Bre spot open so probably going Raya for the extra game in 27. Sucks but p much gone all in with the BB in 29 so I need the certainty

  25. Hazz

      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tiny green on WC … sounds like I’m one of the few who scored more than their non WC team …. The Salah removal is the only thing that hurt me really, and I can brush that off as just one of those things … no one expected that mauling.

  26. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Up 230k places but probably been even better if i hadnt wildcarded….laugh or cry lol

      It's not many weeks you'll go NOT having players from a popular team who win 7-0, and you still get a green. Live it up!

  27. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years

    Sanchez being dropped throws a spanner into the works, so what would you do here?

    0.3itb & 1FT
    Sanchez
    Estupinan Pinnock Henry
    Saka Rashford Mitoma Martinelli
    Kane Haaland Toney

    Kepa Trippier Maddison White

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Were you planning to BB? Otherwise just play Kepa

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes

    2. Samsonite
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have same dilemma and am looking to BB in 29. I have a Bre spot open so may go Raya for the extra game. If not BB I would def hold and see what happens

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Play Kepa and see if Sanchez plays GW27 or in FA Cup before ditching.

  28. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    12/25 gameweeks I've had double digit points (in total on the bench). I really gotta get my selection right!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Nothing wrong with having good squad.

    • 10 Years

    OMG I missed the last goal. Another Andreas assist!! Though Toney has dropped baps 🙁

    So that was a week

    WC team = 47 (20 on bench)
    Pre-WC team with no transfers = 81 (3 DNPs on bench)

    I now this isn't unique but still, LOL

      How often do we play someone we don’t fancy because we want to avoid a -4, then they haul?

      If you have a decent team then you need so much luck that your WC team outperforms it. Maybe best to judge it over a number of gameweeks.

        Yeah mate, still think it's the right call. Over 4/5 weeks the WC will outperform the team it replaced, and set me up for beyond better. Just a hilariously rough start.
