The final Double Gameweek of the season kicks off in north London, although the lunchtime match will be of relatively little interest to Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers compared to what is still to come on Saturday and Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford gets underway at 12:30 BST.

Harry Kane is, of course, still well-owned, and he unsurprisingly starts for the Lilywhites.

The rest of the Spurs team news was less predictable as Ryan Mason has made four changes and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Cristian Romero are nowhere to be seen.

Pedro Porro is benched, meanwhile, along with Richarlison.

Dejan Kulusevski, Arnaut Danjuma, Yves Bissouma and Davinson Sanchez are all recalled.

As for the Bees, they begin life without the suspended Ivan Toney, who is now serving an eight-month ban.

Thomas Frank was without his star striker last weekend because of a hamstring injury and he largely sticks with the same starting XI that defeated West Ham United, with this looking like a rare occasion when he hasn’t used a 3-5-2 against a big-six side.

The only alteration sees Mikkel Damsgaard replaced by the more defensive-minded Frank Onyeka in midfield.

GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster, Emerson Royal, Sánchez, Lenglet, Danjuma, Skipp, Bissouma, Davies, Kulusevski, Kane, Son

Subs: Austin, Richarlison, Perisic, Dier, Porro, Tanganga, Moura, Sarr, Craig

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Pinnock, Mee, Henry, Onyeka, Jensen, Janelt, Schade, Mbeumo, Wissa

Subs: Strakosha, Dasilva, Zanka, Ghoddos, Ajer, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Roeslev, Trevitt

      It was a shame that Brian Pinas never got a chance to perform at Newcastle.

  5. g40steve

    So holding Rashford was the wrong move?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Some big swings coming

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years

      The restraining order would point to that, yes.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      No Rashford now, far worse

  8. Roshen

    hope Rash misses next game too, Isak from the bench is ok

    1. Cruyff's Eleven

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rashford is hardly a differential

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      What's differential? You just can't afford a transfer.

    4. g40steve

      He needed some good news after past couple of years.

    5. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Good old Bryan Brooks. What a lad.

  12. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Wow just logged on and seen the score- I had a hunch Mbeumo would score as I was selling him

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      So you didn't? Sell him?

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I’m afraid so. He would’ve been on my bench which would’ve been even more frustrating

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Did you sell him?

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, it’s the lure of getting DGW players

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I lost his 9pts last week too

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Ouch..

  13. Mini League Fatigue
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    No Rashford - that’s made my day. Was causing me anxiety !

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea is the easy game. Can still haul.

      1. Mini League Fatigue
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I’m ok with 1 fixture , I think I’ll get at least the same mins from Grealish which was my potential transfer but would have been -4 , think I’ve played it right

  14. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Salah sellers will get punished

    1. Mini League Fatigue
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Agree - especially given they have Southampton in gw38

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yup

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Try saying that quickly a few times over...

  15. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Whoooo, Mbeumo (C) paying off....

    ... only kidding, muggins here has him 3rd sub (2nd sub really since Martinelli won't feature). Requires some injury acrobatics to get him on the pitch.

    1. Mini League Fatigue
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ouch!

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Outside chance if Trippier is out, and then if Dalot doesn't feature in either game... not 0% for sure.

    2. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      My ML rival brought him in this week as a punt

  16. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I have Mitoma first bench. Any chance Rashford doesn't show at all this week? I'm not hopeful...

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I reckon he starts second game

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Think he plays a part in the second match tbh.

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Zero chance.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Same, but think I prefer Rash start vs Chelsea over Mitoma who has looked lost for a good time

    5. 404_FC
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      no way rash dont start vs chelsea for sure

  17. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Fantastic for David Brooks. Over coming Cancer and returning for his first start. Excellent stuff.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I smiled when saw his name in the starting 11

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Absolutely quality player as well. Wish he'd opted for England over Wales

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        He wouldn't get called up

  18. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I was so close to get Porro for Trippier for -12 😆

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      lol

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Was basically a winger in the last matches...

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Nice rest for Rashy before his mauling of Chelsea

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not had much a rest though, travelled alone on a jetski...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Must've been a deepfake. That was the Manchester Shipping Canal.

  20. 404_FC
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    it's mitoma time to get haul

    Rashford bench are happy now 😀

  21. Oasthouse FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Feeling much better for swapping rashford for Bruno now, phew!

  22. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A one point cameo in the next game would be hilarious

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's possible

      I'd benched him for Isak but swapped it around when there were claims he had travelled, but separately.

      Home to Leicester or home to Chelsea are probably on a similar par atm tho.

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I hope so, along with KDB doing the same and Trippier missing out.

  23. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Klopp not even starting Firmino in his last home game uno

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He'll get his ovation when he comes on in the 85th. They need the 3 points.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Surprised they're not subbing him off in the 9th minute and doing a guard of honour like that tragic Terry one

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They need to win

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Klopp using him as motivation for them to get the job done before he gets subbed on.

  24. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Was a little nervous about Jota to Alvarez for -4. But guess it will pay off now (probably). Got a ticket in the raffle at least.

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    As I said before. Not a fan of Heisenberg's "leaks".

    https://twitter.com/FPL_Heisenberg/status/1659908439705899016?t=yGWV47V2S5EDI444F8juEA&s=19

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      But he said he personally trusted him and it was based on nothing.

      Should have stayed stum.

      It's only because he got a couple recently I gave him some credence.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        The news he shared might be correct. We might never know.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Why share it if it's an unknown, unverifiavke source? He knows what he's doing with these tweets, he's not stupid. (Surely.)

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            No idea mate, I don't follow any of them. But from an outsiders perspective, he stated the source, stated it was a new one so he couldn't be sure of reliability and the actual information said absolutely nothing about Rashford being in the squad. All it did was confirm Rashford was a doubt.

            Times like these when I'm glad I'm not a Twitter user. The information overload must be tiring for people.

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              It's not tiring if you know how sourcing information should be done to be fair 🙂

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I didn't give him any as he isn't naming sources and has no track record.

        Even the ones he linked, he provided no background to how reliable they actually were.

        When you're a big account, that matters. People will follow...

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

      To be fair he said absolutely nothing about Rashford being in the squad either way.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Never trust a meth kingpin

      1. JOELIO8701
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        You would know Gus!

  26. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    You have to assume Levy will sell Kane rather than see him go on a free next summer.

    I mean he sacked Mourinho ahead of the league cup final just so he wouldn't have to pay out the bonus, he would have got, if they'd won.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Might depend on whether anyone is willing to pay what Levy wants.

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs weren't winning that final even with Mourinho, let's be honest.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        If anyone could have won them a cup final it would have been Mourinho.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Not 2021 Mourinho

    3. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago
