Almirón makes full debut for Newcastle in Gameweek 27

Newcastle United’s record signing Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) is set for his full Premier League debut this afternoon.

The Paraguayan international started his Magpies career off with a substitute’s appearance against Wolves in Gameweek 26 but is in the starting line-up to face Huddersfield.

Despite adding some much-needed pace to his side, Rafa Benitez continues with a back-five featuring Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) in a left wing-back role.

Jan Siewert’s Huddersfield side are led by Laurent Depoitre (£5.1m), while budget midfielder Jason Puncheon (£4.2m) starts on the right flank of attacking midfield.

Diogo Jota (£6.1m) owners will be happy to see him still in the Wolves starting XI after recent fitness issues.

Matt Doherty (£5.4m), who recently had a yellow flag of his own to contend with, is also in the starting line-up for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth continue to struggle for injuries, with Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) handed his second start for the club up front.

Josh King (£6.4m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) also start while there is a full Premier League debut at centre-back for Chris Mepham (£4.5m).

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Smith; Ibe, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser; King; Solanke.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Schär, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Hayden, Longstaff, Almirón; Rondón.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Smith, Zanka, Schindler, Löwe; Mooy, Hogg, Bacuna; Kachunga, Depoitre, Puncheon.

    Wolves doing anything

      Bournemouth are very much a first goal team. If they score first it lets them play their direct counter-attacking game. If they concede they struggle to break down opposition teams.

    Salah TC vs this rabble in GW36 is better than any DGW, unless that DGW included Huddersfield home

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salah or Kane.

      Whoever is out of Europe.

      1. DAZZ

        Yeah if liverpool are out of europe and still fighting for the league Salah TC vs Huddersfield sounds good

    2. Rainer

      Hopefully Kane has a double in 36!

    3. The 5% Team

      not even a City player vs Fulham & Cardiff (potentially)?

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        In fairness that's probably every bit as good if not better

  3. SADIO SANÉ

    looks like double-Wolves attack was an absolute genius move 😀

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Well done mate

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        thanks

    2. Deulofail

      Wolves are good against great and poop teams. A bit too measured against the good theams, their rivals, perhaps.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        anything before the next two GWs was a bonus, unfortunately there was no bonus

  4. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Take Clyne off, Howe.
    Put Doherty up front, Nuno.

    It's like these managers don't even know the players I own.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I benched clyne 😮
      Lesson learned

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        You fool. Telling me to captain him 'n all! Cheeky 😀

        I pulled out of my Boruc transfer for him. Wish I'd done both at the moment.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Ha ha

    jota limps off, subbed

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      was in doubt of getting rid next GW, now it's settled....thnx for the 2x1 points the last 2 GWs Jota

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

    Cav on
    Jota off

  8. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Currently on 8(-4) so effectively 4 from 5 players!

    Only an Auba (c) haul can save me

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty much

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      similar state

  9. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Getting Jota instead of Jimenez is looking very stupid decision 🙁

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Jiminez scored?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        He has outscored jota for last 4 matches & still playing

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Instead of Duelofeu?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I thought about him. But didn't thought he'd be good

  10. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Ritchie off
    Kenedy on

  11. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Truly absurd live green arrow with 16 points (from 6).

    Really wish I hadn’t bottled and switched C from Rondon to Son

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Subtle ‘I’ve got Rondon’ brag

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Put another way that’s 16 with a wholly unnecessary -8.

    2. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Did the same stupid move

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Watch Pereira get benched too man

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Drop Dead Tsimikas
