The second of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Brighton and Hove Albion make the long trip north to face Newcastle United.

Kick-off at St James’ Park is at 14:00 BST.

From a Fantasy perspective, it’s probably fair to say that, in general, there is less riding on this game than in the other three fixtures today.

There is nevertheless still plenty of interest in the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.5m), Callum Wilson (£6.5m) and Mathew Ryan (£4.5m), all three of whom have double-digit ownerships in Fantasy Premier League.

That trio of players starts this afternoon, with there being only one change to the starting XIs from Gameweek 1 across the two teams combined.

Steve Bruce has unsurprisingly made no alterations to his line-up following the opening-day win over West Ham United.

That means that Ryan Fraser (£6.0m), Miguel Almiron (£6.0m) and Matt Ritchie (£5.0m) have to be content with a place among the substitutes.

Graham Potter’s only change sees Aaron Connolly (£5.5m) come in for Adam Lallana (£6.4m), with the latter having limped out of the defeat to Chelsea last Monday.

Lallana is fit enough for a place on the bench, however.

Ben White (£4.5m) has also recovered from injury and keeps his place in the back three.

There were no goals in either meeting between the two clubs last season.

Indeed, not one of the last six fixtures between Newcastle and Brighton has seen more than two goals scored.


Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Lewis, Hayden, Shelvey, Hendrick, Saint-Maximin, Carroll, Wilson.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, White, Dunk, Webster, Lamptey, Bissouma, Alzate, March, Trossard, Maupay, Connolly.

    Auba to KDB
    ASM to max 5.9?

    1. Holmes
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why 5.9?

      1. F_Ivanovic
        6 years, 1 month ago

        because he only has 5.9 available?

        1. Holmes
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Since none of those players have increased/decreased in price, it should be 6?

          1. F_Ivanovic
            6 years, 1 month ago

            He could have lost money elsewhere on a player he's sold? I can't think of exact permutations but I mean... there's clearly a reason he's saying 5.9 and not 6 lol

        2. Holmes
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Or Kevin has already gone up?

      2. Twisted Saltergater

        Sherlock? Is that you?

        What a strange question. 😀

        1. Holmes
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not sure where 0.1 has gone when none of these players have changed in pricr

    2. Balls of Steel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Klich

  2. KGFC
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This could be a week when WC'ers are more than non-WC'ers 😆

  3. Kodap
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC.. who do I NEED to get in my team?

    1. Holmes
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Build the team around triple City

      1. Kodap
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Triple City?!

        1. Holmes
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Aye

      2. Homer21
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Bit of a shot in the dark, as is WC'ing now imo

        1. Holmes
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling, Kevin, Jesus are pretty obvious picks, no?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martinez (Steer)
      Trent - Saiss - Taylor (Mitchell & Lewis)
      KDB - Salah - Jrod - Soucek (Bissouma)
      Werner - Jiminez - DCL

      1. Kodap
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This is literally my team currently! Stick with it?

    3. Dr. Rog
      6 years, 1 month ago

      wolves, chelsea, everton & spuds given the fixtures + Salah and premium city mid of choice.

  4. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This is not good

  5. Rolls-Royce
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son or Jimenez on WC?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have both for now

    2. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both... Mourinho needs to play Son up top with Kane as #10.. Spurs would suddenly become dangerous

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Are you for real? He’s just scored 4 running from deep

        1. KGFC
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He wasn't hugging the side lines like at Everton. You should check the stats for both these games to see what I mean.

      2. Brosstan
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He didnt play up top..

        1. KGFC
          6 years, 1 month ago

          He wasn't sitting on the side as well.

    3. Puncheon Guly
      6 years, 1 month ago

      See how much Bale is? I'm a (happy) Son owner and will see how that plays out with interest. Big call for Mo to fit Bale in without disturbing that Son/Kane partnership

    4. Dr. Rog
      6 years, 1 month ago

      wont play southamptons high line every week
      but is a good option. sacrifices have to be made to accomodate however.

      werner and jiminez should be locks given the fixtures. DCL looks a season keeper.
      next logical port of call is the liverpool defence... but you'll want them all back by wk6, wk9 at the latest.

      which could work in terms of timing a wolves/sp*rs switcharoo

  6. Alisson WondHaaland
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are BPS final? Son and Kane both getting 3 as things stand

    1. Balls of Steel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Will be updated later

  7. fr3d
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm just happy I won't own any Man Utd players at Brighton

  8. WWW.
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it true that we should only activate wc right before the deadline to aid with price rises?

    1. Egg noodle
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No

    2. Holmes
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt your one transfer will have that much impact

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      no

    4. OverTinker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What?? I seriously don't get it

      1. OverTinker
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I got it. But only if others do it as well

    5. F_Ivanovic
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No. Your one transfer is pretty unlikely to make the difference in the price rise and if you're anything like me there's more chance you sleep in saturday morning and forget to activate it.

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve made 8 transfers and haven’t activated the wildcard yet.

    7. Brosstan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No its a moronic thing to do. The chance of forgetting to activate because of some freak happening close to the deadline far outweighs whatever microscopical impact your transfers have on potential price rises.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Let’s be honest, no one here is going to forget.

        1. Brosstan
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Someone in your family calls you and needs urgent help and it takes long enough that the deadline passes. Or something happens with you, acute illness so you end up in the hospital for an evening. Your transfers literally have no significant impact on price rises.

  9. mbglo
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If you could only do one, would you do?
    A) Davies -> 4.5
    B) Auba -> KDB/Sterling

    1. WWW.
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A priority

  10. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Please score a goal Lewis

    1. PartyPooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      maybe 3, pretty please. Not too much to ask with all those hatties flying around...

  11. Dr. Rog
    6 years, 1 month ago

    werner fail today and he is likely the one sacrificed to accommodate all of this weeks bandwagons.
    werner will top the captain poll next week, and probably wk5 as well. sell at your peril!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Werner will do Son

    2. Rassi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Chelsea and ManU will be the ultimate trolls next GW.

      1. BobbyV
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol not Utd

    3. Balls of Steel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Werner to bag a few at the Hawthornes

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No Son No Ings down to 2.5M OR No excuse for not WC-ing

    1. money face bandwagon
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Relax. It is just 1 gw.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Never been beyond 1M rank before, now I can feel the rage 😉

  13. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings or Jiminez guys?

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi

  14. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    26 from 6, goodbye GW1 team after lots of research and hello GW3 WC

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson to DCL done

    1. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I actually pushed wc as have che adams saint maximin auba to take care of

  16. Chucky
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Cmon ASM grab a goal....

    1. Chucky
      6 years, 1 month ago

      oh feerk he's subbed...

      1. Balls of Steel
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha

  17. HNI
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Setpiece query
    1) Everton penalty taker with Siggy now bench player? Digne or Jrod?
    2) Will TrentRobbo lose out on freekicks and corners with Alacantara in the mix?

  18. davies
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve got Auba/ASM/Adams/Dier/McCarthy...

    A) Wildcard
    B) Auba/ASM > Sterling/Podece (-4)

    1. FPL ElasticO
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same stuff I wced. But who to replace Mcaarthy with?

  19. FPL ElasticO
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are Son & DCL essential?? Or Can I get away without having any of them.....

    1. HNI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dcl yes due to his price. Son at his price is not consistent and wont face a team with highline every game especially not next vs NewC

  20. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bissouma is by far the best 4.5 mid

    1. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Anguissa?

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      At least I picked one right then.

    3. FPL ElasticO
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes & Lamptey as the best 4.5 defender

  21. Agger
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve been on the Salah captaincy train, DCL treble, and Kane haul. And missed the Man United attackers train.

    I don’t know if it’s luck or skill but I’ll take it 😉

    1. Azathoth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Skillful luck

    2. FPL ElasticO
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you want consistent points from your captaincy.....
      I think Son is too rollercoaster of a player too inconsistent....

  22. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Had the trigger on my Wildcard, which didn't include any Spurs. Now what!? Love this game, love this start to the season and love all the prices and multi-tier strategies/options after 1 and a bit complete game-weeks!✔

  23. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    FPL is a cursed game

    1. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      New season. Same story

  24. Wild Card this!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    LOL after every match I want 2/3 players from the winning side

  25. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Need some ASMR after that from ASM

  26. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Issue with WCing is I have no idea who to bring in

    One more week could be beneficial

    1. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You would have seen all teams atleast once before next week. Every week will give you more data but question is how much you want to wait.

    2. OverTinker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am actually thinking this

  27. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vinagre
    Alli
    ASM

    1FT that I had hoped to use for KDB, but 3 fires to put out.

    Good timing for a WC?

    1. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Also have no EVE attackers to add salt to the wound

    2. tinear
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You could use free hit, set a team for a week then wildcard to confirm the team 😀

  28. tinear
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bavies to Lamptey looks good for the price

  29. No_Mo_Salah?
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Was so close to doing Son to Rash for -4 to beat his price drop but held my nerve. Him and Mitro saving my week.

  30. tokara
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How did Newcastle defence look? Spurs wi do well next week?

    1. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs will destroy

    2. fauxfatale
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Newcastle always find a way to f**k with Spurs, so I wouldn't be overtly confident on that one
