The curtailed Gameweek 29 comes to its conclusion this afternoon, with two Premier League matches in the offing. Proceedings start at St James’ Park with a three o’clock date between Newcastle and Stoke. A match made in heaven? Hardly. Although many Fantasy managers will be hoping that Stoke’s defensive form continues, allowing Moussa Sissoko and friends to capitalise. That’s followed by the big highlight of the weekend, as two genuine top four contenders face off at Anfield. Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale do battle for the limelight, with Fantasy managers smacking their lips at the prospect of a belated Gameweek 29 payday.
The team news from St James’ Park sees Alan Pardew name an unchanged line-up from the side that lost to Swansea last weekend. Papiss Cisse shakes off the illness that forced him out of Thursday’s Europa League trip to Russia, though Hatem Ben Arfa misses out after picking up a leg problem in the midweek goalless draw. For Stoke, Tony Pulis makes just one alteration from last week’s home loss to West Ham – Geoff Cameron returns to the starting XI, with Michael Kightly dropping out.
Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom has disposed of the Mothers Day crowd and now welcomes the Fantasy football fraternity into its midst to capture the reaction as the Sunday points hopefully come tumbling in.
