The last Premier League fixture before the October international break takes place at St. James’ Park, as Newcastle United host Manchester United.

Kick-off on Tyneside is at 16:30 BST.

As anticipated, the Red Devils are without Paul Pogba (£8.4m), Anthony Martial (£7.5m), Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard (£6.4m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) for this encounter.

Lingard, Pogba and Victor Lindelof (£5.4m) – who has picked up a back injury – make way from the team that drew 1-1 at Old Trafford, with Juan Mata (£6.3m), Fred (£5.3m) and Diogo Dalot (£4.9m) replacing them.

Ashley Young switches over to left-back to accommodate Dalot, with Axel Tuanzebe (£4.4m) partnering Harry Maguire (£5.5m) at centre-half.

There is still no league start for Mason Greenwood (£4.4m), who is only among the substitutes.

Marcus Rashford (£8.4m) again leads the line for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Steve Bruce has rung the changes after the Magpies’ 5-0 thrashing at Leicester last Sunday.

Emil Krafth (£4.5m), Paul Dummett (£4.5m), the suspended Isaac Hayden (£4.5m), Yoshinori Muto (£5.3m) and Christian Atsu (£5.4m) all drop out, with Ciaran Clark (£4.4m), DeAndre Yedlin (£4.4m), Jetro Willems (£4.5m), Matthew Longstaff (£4.5m) and Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) coming into the starting XI.

Not a single Newcastle player on show is owned by more than 5% of FPL bosses.

Rashford, Maguire, Daniel James (£6.2m) and David de Gea (£5.6m) all have double-digit ownerships, along with Greenwood.

Just over 100,000 FPL managers have captained Rashford for this fixture.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Clark, Willems, M. Longstaff, S. Longstaff, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton, Almiron.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Young, Fred, McTominay, Andreas, Mata, James, Rashford.

    Reckon City will be better defensively when KDB returns?

    1. beric
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Better all over

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Attack is the best defence.

    3. Epic Fail
      7 years, 19 days ago

      No

    4. Alexis Nonsense
      7 years, 19 days ago

      I reckon they'll be better offensively...

    5. Rainer
      7 years, 19 days ago

      If he replaces Otamendi.

    6. HurriKane
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Nope

    7. FOO FIGHTER
      7 years, 19 days ago

      City are not going to like when teams counter attack. Ota and Fern are slow.

      Opposition teams are taking note.

    8. FOO FIGHTER
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Can he stay fit though.

    LMS safety score currently 28.

    1 game + autosubs to go.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      7 years, 19 days ago

      What's the overall average for the gameweek?

      1. have you seen cyan
        7 years, 19 days ago

        33, top10k is 36. But there will be loads of Man U players left, if Man U concede and low scoring game then over-all will move to like 37 probably.

        1. MarvelouSuccess
          7 years, 19 days ago

          I'm on 56 after BPS. I'm 668k.

          1. JIMMY TUGGINS
            7 years, 19 days ago

            Ok.

    2. Jolly Good
      7 years, 19 days ago

      At 32, not sure I’ll survive this week

  5. jia you
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Triple MUN to save my GW!

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      7 years, 19 days ago

      More chance of seeing pigs fly

    2. Maddocio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Your linked team suggests not

  6. HurriKane
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Who wouldve thought after first 9 gws the top 7 defenders would be

    Pereira
    TAA
    PVA
    Lundstram
    Pieters
    Dunk

    In fact take the top 19 defenders and remove liv defs. Guess what only Pereira is above 6m. Next most expensive is PVA at 5.6

    1. beric
      7 years, 19 days ago

      First half of every season sees the premium defenders fail to live up to their price tags. Always start cheap and change after xmas

    2. jia you
      7 years, 19 days ago

      without PVA I'd be all out on 26 points this GW!

  7. Go-on-son
    7 years, 19 days ago

    The wheels are comin off lads. Help me please. Who would be your top picks for a wildcard team?

    For me I'm looking at mane, kdb, Tammy and yarm.

    1. TheDragon
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Leicester

    2. Rainer
      7 years, 19 days ago

      That’s a good base.

    3. HurriKane
      7 years, 19 days ago

      TAA Auba Tammy Mount and KDB. Rest is up to debate

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Chelsea and Leicester with TAA and Mane and KDB and Lundstram. Job done

    5. beric
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Kun, sterling, kdb

      1. Go-on-son
        7 years, 19 days ago

        City seem to be trolling me at the mo. Got otamendgi, sterlo and Aguerro but damn it's killing me

    6. AndyCook
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Yarmolenko would not be an essential for me

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Since no one got my quiz on the last page I'll give you the answer. The three players yet to blank this season are Targett, CHO and Martial

  9. Super Nashwan
    7 years, 19 days ago

    I want vardy who do I get rid of, Haller or pukki?

    1. HurriKane
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Pukki

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Pukki

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Both. Pukki first.

  10. FDMS All Starz
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Who are the top 5 players to own then for the coming weeks? Regardless of price

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Aguero, Auba, Kane, Wilson & Tammy.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Who do you think they are?

      1. FDMS All Starz
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Stay away from pool because of their fixtures could go either way so I’d say Auba/Vardy/Kdb/Tammy/(Sterling/Kun)

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          7 years, 19 days ago

          Looks about right.

        2. Pacer.
          7 years, 19 days ago

          Honestly, you'd think Liverpool were playing Barcelona circa 5-10 years ago

          Liverpool are fixture proof

    3. HurriKane
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Auba KDB Tammy TAA Pereira

    4. Brosstan
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Mane, Jimenez, Abraham, Mount, Wesley

      1. FDMS All Starz
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Looks like players that did well this GW

        1. Brosstan
          7 years, 19 days ago

          Ok. Salah, Sterling, Aguero, Auba, Kane then.

    5. DVassell
      7 years, 19 days ago

      KDB, Tammy, Mount, Vardy, Aguero

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Auba, Tammy, Cilson, Mount and CHO/TAA,

  11. PogChamp
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Yikes! What better than a tragic GW than to have 9 away players in the next one.

  12. have you seen cyan
    7 years, 19 days ago

    someone tell me Rico is a stupid captain choice next gw, I wasnt really paying attention to him today, was he garbage or good?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      7 years, 19 days ago

      I'd captain Abraham

      1. have you seen cyan
        7 years, 19 days ago

        I dont have abraham, I have Mount. Its between Mount, Kane and Rico. Am seriously considering Rico

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Vardy C Wilson KDB Mount Tammy

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 19 days ago

      * failed response to Go-On-Son!

  14. Zladan
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Mount likely to get bonus points once adjusted?

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Earlier games BPS look final.

      1. Zladan
        7 years, 19 days ago

        Including winning goal baps?

        1. Rainer
          7 years, 19 days ago

          Earlier games BPS look final.

          1. Zladan
            7 years, 19 days ago

            Oh it’s like that huh

            1. Rainer
              7 years, 19 days ago

              😆

              Mount did nout bar the goal, missed a big chance and that hurt his BAPs potential.

              1. Zladan
                7 years, 19 days ago

                Shame. Saw that sitter too. Take what I can get this game week though!

      7 years, 19 days ago

    3. Yank Revolution
      7 years, 19 days ago

      First 2 Prem goals he's ever scored

      1. Bob B
        7 years, 19 days ago

        False, he scored against West Ham last season

        1. Yank Revolution
          7 years, 19 days ago

          Ahh the announcers were wrong then.

    4. Bob B
      7 years, 19 days ago

      He'll mainly be playing RWB this season and will be in & out of the team

  17. Bob B
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Team:
    VVD Robertson Otamendi Tomori
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Pukki Abraham

    A. Salah + Pukki > Mane + Vardy
    (442 with Robertson + VVD)

    B. VVD + Dendoncker + Pukki > Reid + Wilson + Maddison (-4)
    (keep Salah & move to 352)

    C. VVD + Greenwood > Rico/Kelly > Wilson

  19. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    7 years, 19 days ago

    I've got 7.9 to get rid of ceballos. Turns out he is more of a donkey than a horse! Who to put in?

    1. andres
      7 years, 19 days ago

      CHO or Maddison

    2. Rainer
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Maddison will be popular.

      Mount if you don’t have, a CHO punt...

    3. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Already have mount in that price range

  20. andres
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Pope
    TAA Soy Lund
    Salah Sterling Mount Cantwell
    Kun Tammy Pukki

    Ceballos!, Kelly, Pieters, 1FT, 0.1M

    I think I am doing at least -8 pon this team... Vardy, Wilson, CHO probably incoming

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Mine's similar and at least one hit is likely

      1. andres
        7 years, 19 days ago

        who are you getting?

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 19 days ago

          Depends on KDB news but focus is KDB, Wilson, Mount/Maddison (Salah, Pukki, Cantwell)

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 19 days ago

    Is Vardy Maddison Pereira too much Leicester? If so which one should I leave out?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Don't think so if you trust them that much. No better time to stock upthen rn with their fixtures

  24. Thomas Magnum
    7 years, 19 days ago

  29. jia you
    7 years, 19 days ago

    If you owned PVA would you hold him through his tough upcoming fixtures?

    1. HurriKane
      7 years, 19 days ago

      If you could upgrade to pereira could be a winner

      1. jia you
        7 years, 19 days ago

        he's def one I have my eye on as have no LEI atm

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Nobody really jumps out to take him put for. Can score against anyone and when clean sheets are at a premium he might be worth holding on to.

      1. jia you
        7 years, 19 days ago

        that's my feeling also mate, leaning towards holding him

  30. Cojones of Destiny
    7 years, 19 days ago

    lads pls
    a. Jiménez
    b. Wilson

    1. Brosstan
      7 years, 19 days ago

      Jimmy is due a good run and has fixtures. Wolves seem to have turned it around, good time to get him ahead of the curve

      1. have you seen cyan
        7 years, 19 days ago

        i think Jimi could be a smart move also. Cant look at him currently myself, but trying to decide between Boly and Doherty, Dohertys minutes are annoying, was hoping they would get knocked out of europa league
