Peltier absence limits FPL interest in Cardiff v Newcastle

Interest in Saturday’s lunch-time kick-off was reduced by the absence of Cardiff City’s Lee Peltier (£4.0m).

The right-back was one of a handful of starting defenders in the cheapest bracket during pre-season and Gameweek 1, but was not named in the match-day squad to face Newcastle United. Ecuele Manga (£4.5m) shifted across from centre-back to fill in for him, with Sol Bamba (£4.5m) dropping back to allow Harry Arter (£5.0m) to make his debut.

The most popular Cardiff asset, 4.1 percent of Fantasy Premier League managers had Peltier in their own squads and a large portion of that started him for Gameweek 2.

Bobby Reid (£5.5m) also dropped out of the starting line-up, after leading the line at Bournemouth in Gameweek 1. Kenneth Zohore (£5.0m) comes in to take his place.

The focus on visitors Newcastle will be around Jamaal Lascalles (£5.0m) whose 7.9 percent ownershipn makes him the most fashionable asset in the match.

A small number of eyes will also be on Matt Ritchie (£6.0m), who registered an assist at home against Spurs in Gameweek 1 and the promising Kenedy (£5.0m) who sits in 2.5 percent of squads.

Meanwhile Joselu (£5.0m), signed by 79,000+ managers since last Saturday, is still chasing his first away league goal for Newcastle after netting last week.

CARDIFF CITY XI (4-2-3-1): Etheridge; Bennett, Morrison, Bamba, Manga; Arter, Ralls; Camarasa, Murphy, Hoilett; Zohore.

NEWCASTLE UNITED XI (4-4-2): Dubravka; Dummett, Lascelles, Clark, Manquillo; Kenedy, Diame, Shelvey, Ritchie; Perez, Joselu.
