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.

    Is this worth a 4 pointer?

    Salah, Pukki + Haller -> Mane, Auba + Connolly

    Don’t want to lose Haller but it would give me Auba alongside Tammy which I am keen on….

    Cantwell / MANE / Sterling / KDB / Mount
    AUBA / CONNOLLY / Tammy

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Got a very similar team but with 1.6 itb. Was thinking salah to mane Pukki to Vardy. Is this better, can’t decide? I could do similar to yours and go Pukki/Haller to Auba Connolly but that means playing one of Cantwell/Connolly most weeks.

      Alternative leaves:
      Cantwell / MANE / Sterling / KDB / Mount
      Vardy / Haller / Tammy

      1. Ace Ventura
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I have toyed with Vardy as well and I like Salah to Mane and Pukki to Vardy - if you can afford!
        Auba and Tammy have a lovely run of games that I cant over look even though I will have less options for rotation. good luck

    GW and season in general summed up with Mount outscoring my 3 Man City assets inc captain lol 🙂

    Sterling fails me again. Third time captain blank. Could have been top 40k if it wasn't for him. My other players does great, but he drags me down. I'm selling him. This will free up cash too.

    1. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not a good GW for premiums in general.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      You wouldn't be top 40k as he blanked for others too.

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years

      Man U fan?

  7. Dannyb
    • 9 Years

    This is the worst United team I've seen since I've been watching football. Absolute dross

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not seen the Ron Atkinson years, then?

  8. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Can Manchester United get relegated?

    Could that actually, viably happen?

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      They can but they won't.

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nah Big Sam will come in around March and save them from the drop.

    3. jia you

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Rojo is still there??

  10. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Oh no going to be a first hit of the season to get Aguero and Maddison in I think unless I can convince myself salah is worth it.

    A) Salah + Pukki > Maddison + Aguero -4
    B) Pukki > Vardy
    C) Salah > Sterling

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A looks fine, but how about Auba instead of Kun?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Have Auba. Gives me a tonne itb too for a Dilva > KDB the week after

      2. Regin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't auba just blank at home to bmouth? Isn't laca coming back soon meaning auba will drift wide? Y all the love for auba?

    Rashford is a dire footballer. Thinks hes way better than he is, doesnt even bother trying to make himself involved except trying to run in a straight line behind the opposition defense and hope someone can play him through. And even if he gets through on goal he needs 3+ big chances to score.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wow you are so wrong, he needs 5+ big chances to score

    2. niko mate

      All footballers have very high self esteem no matter how bad they are.

    If I’d been told before the GW started that I’d live to regret having failed to cap a backup keeper for a promoted side that conceded 5 goals to another promoted side (at home), I’d have been incredulous.

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Dalot off
    Rojo on

    1. Magic Zico

    That should be McTominays 2nd red card today.

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      That is astonishing.

    2. Regin

    Forgot the rules during a match. Sorry for misleading. It was just a wishful thinking.
    But really though Man United, it's only Newcastle. ;/

    Early transfer ideas please...
    No FT ...none ITB..

    Ready to take hits as concerned by pukki, salah , raz and double pool defense..

  20. the vanisher
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Sterling, Pukki to Kdb, Vardy for free?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd wait to see with KDB. Could be a martial situation where they've downplayed the possible time out.

    2. niko mate
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good. I have KDB and now will probably get Vardy after selling Sterling.

  21. teknicolourfox
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Pukki > Vardy
    Cantwell > Mount

    For -4

    If Mount, wait till after the break? Or now to avoid price rise...

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I would do it but wait if you can. If you lose.1 its worth it to wait

      1. teknicolourfox
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks!

        I should know this, when do price changes occur, every night or just once per gameweek?

  22. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I have Auba, Tammy. Need a forward 8.0 or less.
    A) Pukki
