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.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        The way this GW is going, expect him or Lascelles to go off injured.

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, I imagine both.

    with hamer out the team, I currently own to 4 GW31 players (salah, robbo, bacuna and brooks) with 4 free transfer to use until then.

    current team:
    patricio hamer
    robbo kola doherty AWB bednerak
    salah son pogba brooks bacuna
    aguero jimenez rashford 4.7ITB

    is selling one of my GW31 players in brooks to get in mane a mistake?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1. barton fc
        • 8 Years

  17. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I'd assumed that Fraser was the c.6m mid to get for the blanks, but maybe Miguel is the man.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Almiron wont play a League 1 team every week, but he does look good.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Considering either yourself?

        1. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          BOU attacker in GW31, probably King as it'll most likely be Rashford out over Pogba. Like Fraser too.

          Not a fan of Rafa attacking options.

  18. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So Yedlin moves onto 6 yellows. Can he get himself banned for 33?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Banned in a blank ?

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        They might not blank.

  21. Rainer
    • 10 Years

    Rafa may sub a CB at HT to put more pressure on Hudd.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Does he know how to attack?

      It's been a while.

    Load of dross so far!

  23. Piggs Boson

    Poch is surely getting a ban for sarcastically clapping Mike Dean and getting in his face.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fine most likely.

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thats his transfers budget for next season gone then.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          What budget?

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

          United have plenty to spend, he needn't worry.

          1. el polako
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I thought United wants to win trophies ?
            For Poch trophies are only ego boosters - not important.

            1. Rainer
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Give Poch money to give him a chance at the trophies.

              1. el polako
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                You tell me he needed money to beat Leicester to the title ?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years

      he's not Zaha, so no

  24. pjomara
    • 16 Years

    That was first red card by Newcastle opponent for 5 years

  25. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hows Jim and Doh doing?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      so close to 1-1. Neves plays through for Jota, outstanding persistence to hold off his man who keeps trying to pull him down, low cross-shot is just missed by the sliding Jimenez.

      Jimenez also had a goal disallowed

    Jota to Jimmy nearly.
