The seventh match of Gameweek 36 takes place this evening as Brighton and Hove Albion face Newcastle United.

Kick-off at the Amex Stadium is at 17:30 BST.

Chris Hughton has made four changes to the side that took on Spurs in midweek, with Glenn Murray handed a recall up front.

Florin Andone doesn’t drop to the bench, however – the Romanian striker is joined by Murray and winger Jose Izquierdo in a front three.

Murray, Izquierdo, veteran right-back Bruno and central midfielder Beram Kayal come into Hughton’s starting XI, with Martin Montoya, Yves Bissouma, Jurgen Locadia and Alireza Jahanbakhsh making way.

Solly March is among the substitutes, while Anthony Knockaert only makes the bench despite a return from a three-game ban.

Rafael Benitez has made two enforced changes, with Miguel Almiron and Jamaal Lascelles unavailable through injury and illness respectively.

Christian Atsu and Federico Fernandez are the men to replace the sidelined pair, while Jonjo Shelvey is handed a rare start in midfield at the expense of Ki Sung-yueng.

A win would almost certainly secure Brighton’s Premier League safety as it would take them six points clear of Cardiff City with two games to play.

The Seagulls currently have a superior goal difference than the Bluebirds to the tune of 14 goals.

Hughton’s side have not scored in seven league and cup games, however, and are without a Premier League victory since Gameweek 29.

Newcastle have won their last two top-flight games, with Ayoze Perez scoring all four goals in that brace of victories.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo, Gross, Stephens, Kayal, Andone, Murray, Izquierdo.

Subs: Bong, Bissouma, Locadia, Knockaert, March, Button, Burn.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Schar, Fernandez, Dummett, Ritchie, Perez, Shelvey, Hayden, Atsu, Rondon.

Subs: Ki, Diame, Muto, Kenedy, Yedlin, Barreca, Darlow.

    Ederson
    Luiz-Valery-5.4?
    Salah-Fraser-JWP-Son-Sterling
    Kun-Jimenez

    subs: Boruc-AWB-Grant-Dunk - I dont want to use these

    I'm looking for the ideal 5.4 defender.

    Brighton's defence and Son right after Kane's injury...traps of the season

    Brighton defence was a real trap. Pretty poor performance in 5 games.

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kun, Laporte, Martial - not optimistic

    6. Midlands Saint73
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Barnes and possible Bama, sat on a cool 100 after bonus added tonight though so happy with that.

    7. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Kun out of those, any chance of Hazard in?

    5. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Salah last night worked out pretty well for me

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Welcome to the Prem Norwich. We are getting thrashed here 🙁

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Oh wait 🙂

  7. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Brosstan about?

  8. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which one? 2FTs

    A) Eriksen, Martial > Sterling, Højberg (play Delu)
    B) Eriksen, Son > Sterling, Jota (bench Delu)

  9. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    a. Ryan to gunn
    b. trippier to pva

  10. In Bale We Trust
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I have a 30 point gap to make up on leader in ML. Have 2FTs this week and feel I have to go for it now with some differential calls. Thinking of backing united considering the fixtures.

    Anyone else looking to bridge a gap here? Who are you pinning your stripes to?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same for me - 2 free transfers. Bringing in Rashford and Pogba - 30 points behind so chasing

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes Pog and Rash will be who I bring in also this week I reckon. Will depend on CHelsea game to certain degree though. If Chelsea win convincingly it might be best to just stay away from them entirely. They're currently almost at nine hours without a goal from open play and we're hoping they'll save our season!

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard, Zaha, Pog/Rash are the main ones under consideration for me.

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Zaha I've looked at, but don't think he's explosive enough to get me out of this predicament. Haz is an interesting one, just don't fancy that final match up away to Leicester.

        1. AndyCook
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I’d have Hazard. Lacazette or Aubameyang for Brighton?

  11. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    thoughts on Arnautovic?

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Always a good option when fit. Looked very sharp today. Definitely worth thinking about imo

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Barely touched the ball in the first half but clearly has ability, fixtures not bad

  12. el polako
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bit annoyed that my Brighton triple up punt was ruined by a single shot 🙁
    On a positive side it paid off to keep hold of Wilson.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Newcastle xG was 0.44 so they were fortunate to get a goal.

      Spurs, Everton and Cardiff also unlucky not to win based on xG.

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You mean xG is a useless stat?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If using it to predict the result in a single GW it is. But then so are things like bookies odds.

          But over the long term, like odds, it is a good predictor.

  13. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    See you next season lads 😉

    1. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      See you next season - looking forward to a Utd derby!!

    2. CaTriEm
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thoughts on Enda Stevens as an FPL prospect?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hmmmm. Possibly but I'd wait and see. Would prefer Jack O Connell

  14. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Foster
    Son
    Llorente
    To
    Guaita
    Lingard or Jota
    Rashford

    -4 cheers

    1. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not worth it imo

  15. Poseidon.
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A lot of you have been asking how many points MeatPieSausageRoll got - apologies but only just seeing the requests now. I’m currently on 101 points with Hazard still to play.

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thank you, I can go to bed now.

    2. Butcher

      Who's asked?

      1. Poseidon.
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I can’t remember all there names

  16. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lloris
    TAA Robertson Laporte Doherty
    Mane Son Eriksen Jota Sterling
    Aguero

    Foster Mitrovic Ings Valery

    0.1 ITB 1FT

    1. Mitro + Eriksen > Hazard + dudd third striker
    2. Mitro + Son > Lukaku + dudd fifth mid
    3. Mitro + Son > Rashford + Martial

    1. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably 1 - though 3’s interesting

  17. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Looking forward to a Vardy party tomorrow lunch time

    1. Futile Tinkering
      • 9 Years

      Sorry but the party's off.

    2. Peter Ouch

      Next gw even better!

  18. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Makes me sad watching Norwich v Blackburn, remembering the heady days when we were both major players in the Prem. Hopefully we can follow them back one day 🙁

    1. Futile Tinkering
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I only ever watched Rovers when my fellow country man (Benni McCarthy) joined. I would love to see u guys back.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        We were well past it by then. He was a bit of an enigma was Benni, brilliant on his day but too often too fat when we got him 🙂

        1. Futile Tinkering
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          😆 the pie chants were brutal.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Harsh but fair 🙂 Tbf he was a stellar signing for us but never really hit the peaks he was capable of

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Google players who have played for Rovers, you will be amazed 🙂

              1. Bolivian Seaman
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 3 months ago

                I wonder how much warhurst would have broken fpl

                1. Bolivian Seaman
                  • 15 Years
                  7 years, 3 months ago

                  oops he was sheffield wednesday

  19. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Transferring Eriksen and Aguero out for a hit and bringing in Salah(TC) and Wilson is the best move I've ever made in five years of playing FPL. Aguero needs to score 34 points tomorrow to match the points I've gained from this decision.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Will you get aguero back for next week ?

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If not then count your points gain after next week

        1. Gentle_Turks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          This. Too early to count chickens yet...

      2. Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nope. Going to do Gray + Son > Rash + Pog for a hit. Aguero has scored one in seven and he's hardly looked sharp in recent matches. Happy enough to go with Sterling and I can't pass up another potential Huddersfield tonking.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero: “hold my beer”

      1. Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He's been playing like a pub drunk lately. Famous last words and all that but I can't say I live in terror. Newcastle are probably going to roll over for Liverpool while Rodgers will try stifle Citeh's title challenge with every fibre of his being.

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero out posts make me smile. 🙂 Aguero out for a hit posts make me lol 😀 Almost

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      burnley will stifle man city

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Can’t see it myself, mixed feelings as Aguero lover and Burnley hater but really want Liverpool to win the league

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No chance

  20. Tsparkes10

    Just seen results as what at Brammal Lane. Jota off the bench for Origi. Lovely 🙂 what a day

    1. Indpush
      • 8 Years

      Congratulations. See ya next season though.

  21. Bury94

    KDB and Eriksen to Salah and Jota went well!

    1. acidicleo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cool.
      Did u TC Salah as well?

      1. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Unfortunately not, wasted it on him against Fulham a few weeks ago. Still, 104 points so far 🙂

        1. acidicleo
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          104 without TC is wow..
          I am on 95 with TC Mane.

  22. acidicleo
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Cant see why people think Chelsea have 2 easy fixtures and going after hazard.
    I dont think watford and Leicester are easy opponents whrn they drew with Burnley at home.
    Am I missing something?

  23. Party time
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Burnley City predictions?

    1. acidicleo

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years

    3. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    5. No Professionals

      Players I have scoring in a win

    6. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully 0-1 to City with a Laporte goal from a Sterling assist. Max bonus for Laporte.

  24. Tibbs
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What is the average score this week? No humble brag from me, only on 78, just curious.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Here in ffs its about +105

      1. Baked baines
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        109 actually!

    2. acidicleo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Top 10k around 70 and overall arround 48..

    3. Tibbs
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      cheers

    4. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It’s weird top 10k average is 69.8 with 3 players left.

      But a score of 70 would definitely be a red arrow - I’m on 81 and a very small green - odd

  25. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Have been set to do Wilson to Rashford all week for next week's games. After his haul today would you still do it?

    1. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      See how rashford looks tomorrow

  26. @NF_Janner
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bonuses added takes me to 100 with Sterling Lacazette and Kolasniac to play. Love these chips!!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

      Ban all chips i say

        Fish?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yes i like fish

        2. @NF_Janner
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Prefer battered saugage

  27. No Professionals
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski
    TAA AWB Jonny 
    Salah Pogba Son Sterling 
    Aguero Jimenez Barnes 

    Ryan Redmond Bednarek Dunk

    Would you do
    Barnes and son to rashford and jota for a hit?

  28. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Surely Rashford is a strong pick, but then again its United.

  29. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    2FT for next GW

    Ryan to Ederson
    Vardy to Rashford (depending on how he looks tomorrow)

    Yay or nay?

    Ederson* (Foster)

    Boly TAA VVD Laporte

    Sterling Son Jota Mane

    Jimi Rashford*
