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

    Ryan Mason out!

    Bring back Nuno.

    1. Bada Bing
      • 8 Years

      Mason wanting the job on a permanent basis was delusional. Joke of a manager.

        When does it stop being about the manager and more about the players?

        1. Vote Joke

          When you actually have a good manager.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Granted, Spurs seem excellent
            at choosing average managers.

  2. Glasner Ball

    Spurs lol, well done Brentford.

  3. Thanos
    • 4 Years

    Spurs Humbled at home!

    Anyone else slightly annoyed they didn't bring in Mahrez for Rashford?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah should have made the move. Knew he wouldn’t start today.

    2. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      More like Antony here, but too much of a risk for a min 4 without confirmation rash was Def out...

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Most have tripled up on Man City regardless, I imagine

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

      Yeah... had 1ft, did Kepa to Ederson instead. Mostly because that MU "itk" twitter account hinted at Rashford being with the team.

      Which ended up being true, but he wasn't deemed healthy enough to play today it seems.

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

      Didn't have Rashford to sell.

      ୧| ͡ᵔ ﹏ ͡ᵔ |୨

    6. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes I did that change last night- recent points returns for Mahrez have been good.

  5. Hairy Potter

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs are a solid top ten club now. Can't see them competing for the Champions League for the foreseeable future.

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

      The biggest draw is the stadium and perhaps Kane. But when the fans always leave on 60mins you might as well just play for a club with a smaller stadium like Brighton or Brentford anyway. And Kane will surely leave this summer.

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nothing solid about Spurs.
      Never has been, never will be.
      Sometimes brilliant, sometimes rubbish, but always a rollercoaster.
      Never change.

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

        They win more than they lose and are never in a relegation battle. Far more stable than most teams in the division. Much easier supporting them than the clubs in the bottom half.

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

          For now, take away Kane and then you start to wonder...

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They need arab owner like city newcastle and probably united now.

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

        Or accept that their time sort of near the top of the league is over.

  6. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Where would they be without Kane and his goals? In the relegation battle?

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably where Chelsea are right now

  7. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Kane almost with 2 BAPS

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

      Lol

  8. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Spurs are truly shagged if Kane leaves. Poor players on the pitch with little to no sale value.

    Don't see where they go outside of getting a really progressive coach in buy Levy seems set on getting a big name.

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

    Shouldn't have sacked The Special One

  10. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Spursy should try and sign Raya and Thomas Frank.

    Although they might prefer to play in Europe next season.

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

      If Frank goes there after watching what's happened with Potter then he is a fool.

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

      Why would Frank want to there? Epitome of a poisoned chalice.

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

    Can’t imagine what Spurs will be like without Kane. Son too will lose his appeal. Proper mid table season next.

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

    This was Spurs last home game of the season too, pathetic.

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

      Pathetic is almost synonymous with Spurs this season.

  13. TallestJohn
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone happen to have the record for most consecutive FPL returns without a win? That's six in a row for Kane but only one win and one draw for Spurs.

  14. Hazardous1221
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I did Raya + Mitoma > Steele + Bruno Fernandes, deciding to keep Rashford. Now it looks like I should've just done Raya + Rashford > De Gea and Bruno instead. FFS lol

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

    Luke Shaw might not be involved in today's game.

    1. Vote Joke
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Isn’t he starting?

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Warm up injury it seems

  16. Vote Joke
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool were gonna bid for Son last season if Spurs didn’t make the CL. Doubt they’d go for him now though, well stocked there.

  17. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Rumors of no Shaw ffs

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

      Yup... seems like it. Fcking DGW madness.

    2. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Since after the teamsheet?

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Luke Shaw injury……

  19. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Luke Shaw injured in warm up? Nooooo

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No biggie. Everyone had him.

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

        Nahh, Lindelof here

  20. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So my AWB punt a week or two ago worked out quite well, couldn't afford Shaw without taking more hits. Unlucky Shaw/Dalot owners

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

    Just end this season already, my god

  22. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Luke Shaw? More like Puke Shaw am I right?

  23. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Shaw in again

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

      Que?

      1. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Disappeared from the warm-up, but still starting

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Seriously?
      What was it? Felt a bit bloated in the warm up but he’s just layed down a foot long cable and he’s right as rain again?

      1. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Could’ve laid it on my carpet if it meant he started

  24. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago
