We ease our way out of Saturday’s action with a head-to-head at St James’ Park involving two sides who offer limited Fantasy interest.

Newcastle United host Leicester City with Jamie Vardy the top owned asset on show.

The striker has just a goal and an assist from his last five Gameweek but remains part of 16.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads. His ownership increased by 169,000 over the past two Gameweeks with some 83,000 swooping for Vardy ahead of this match.

Harry Maguire is next in line and is included in 8.8% of squads – he will bid to guide the Foxes to their fifth clean sheet of the season, having gained a first shut-out in the last five Gameweeks last time out against Burnley.

As for Newcastle, their most popular Fantasy assets both miss out. Rob Elliot (25%) once again plays understudy to Karl Darlow in goal, while Chancel Mbemba (11.4%) is out of the matchday squad. Jamaal Lascelles (6.1%) is fit and returns among the substitutes.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Fed up of having Alonso for the odd haul. Who is best replacement? I'm thinking Kola at the moment.

    Foster Gomes
    Daniels Alonso Dunk Ward Moreno
    Salah Sterling Ramsey Zaha Richarlison
    Kane Morata DCL

    Any suggestions?

      Good transfer, but Daniels more pressing imo

        You're probably right. Probably a bit knee jerk to ditch Alonso after today! I do have 1.4m ITB so can do Daniels to Kola instead and then transfer Alonso to Jones after the Huddersfield game

    Didn't see the incident for the first penalty for Palace myself, some saying Zaha should be banned if Niasse was. Thoughts?

      It doesn't look good for zaha... never certain but i'd say if Niasse is the bar for a ban then it would almost be criminal if zaha wasn't also banned.
