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.

      6 years, 1 month ago

  5. Brosstan

    1. OPTA FPL

    2. Twisted Saltergater

    3. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Peter Crouch and Defoe say hi

      1. Brosstan
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Smaller difference than Burn and Lamptey 😉

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

      Lamptey + Lamptey = Burn

    5. The Tinkerman
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lennon and Crouch probably switched places in the years they were at Spurs

    6. Lallanalambanana
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ha! I remember Bellamy for Crouch. This has to be close

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

    Potter plays FPL 😀

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He probably had his wrong defender so took lamp off for his defender bonus.

  7. Over Midwicket
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That cost Lamptey owners 4 + 1 + 2 points
    Clean, appearance and baps

  8. Stupendous
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What the hell happened to ASM? 32 mins?

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

      Ankle injury.

      1. Stupendous
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Bad one?selling time?

        1. Stupendous
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Straight swap with Klich or Podence?

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

          It wasn't terrible, he tried to keep playing but walked off in the end.

    2. _Gunner
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ankle injury

    3. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 1 month ago

      injured

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

      Didn’t fancy chasing Lamptey

    5. Kip
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ok, ASM=> KDB it is

  9. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This game is giving me depression ffs

    1. Garlana
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've got a feeling this season could be worse than any before, the amount of goals is drastic and penalty decisions are going to be plentiful. People are going to get punished more than they were previously on 50/50 decisions.

      1. Dr. Rog
        6 years, 1 month ago

        50/50s by definition can go both ways.
        glass half full, folks

        1. Garlana
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Oh for sure, but when it rains it pours..and it's hammering it down today

  10. NABIL - FPL otai

    Ryan hooollldddd...

    1. Shark Team
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What hapnd???

  11. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Was there 4 or more minutes added time in the 1st half?

    Lamptey might get his CS points yet.

    1. Rassi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Does not work like that.

      1. Nightcrawler
        6 years, 1 month ago

        56 + 4 = 60

    2. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 1 month ago

      if only it works that way

    3. Brosstan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      🙁

  12. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That's probably 7 or 8 points lost right there

  13. TKC07
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the new Wildcard Template team?

    Too many to ship out, Saliba, Vinagre, Alli, ASM, Auba, Adams.

    1. Vazza
      6 years, 1 month ago

      There’s no template. The ship has not yet steadied

  14. ace3.1415
    6 years, 1 month ago

    best 5.5 mid?

    1. Never Captain Nicky Butt
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Podence if you're up for possible rotation

      1. Pukki Blinders
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Semedo has signed, Adama will move to RW which makes Podence a rotation problem now

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Neto was on the adama side

          1. Pukki Blinders
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Neto and Podence can play either side though, makes it unpredictable but Podence is the better player imo

    2. Royal5
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Klitch?

      1. Peteex
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Klich you mean? He's 5.6M now

      2. Garlana
        6 years, 1 month ago

        5.6 now

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

      Maybe podence at this point

    4. Shark Team
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mateusz

      1. Shark Team
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry he is 5.6. I would suggest Grady Diangana looked amazing yesterday

  15. Vazza
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Predicted Wolves v Man C score tomorrow?

    1. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      With how matches are going, won't be surprised in a 4-3 win for City

      1. Andy_Social
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Or 4-3 Wolves. 7 goals is the new rule.

    2. DandyDon
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling Hattie hopefully

    3. Pukki Party
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2-2

  16. Zilla
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who takes penalties now for WBA?

    "Austin, Robson-Kanu, Zohore" Don't play or are injured now.

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rank in urgency to remove:

    A) McCarthy
    B) ASM
    C) Vinagre

    1. Babelcopter
      6 years, 1 month ago

      BCA

    2. Vazza
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B and C in equal measures

    3. Balls of Steel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      CAB

  18. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    There were 4 extra minutes in first half so Lamprey should get the CS with 57+4

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

      Ofc 😉

    2. Vazza
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t work like that

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

        He knows that 🙂

      2. Peteex
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He's just trolling

  19. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why oh why do I stilll want to keep the WC

  20. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    such a joke, Brighton hopefully concede now

  21. ZeBestee
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM is only good in fifa, now you know!

  22. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pls maupay hat trick so ppl stay away from vardy and kane

  23. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This game...took out Son for Rashford this GW...FFS

    Massive haul...

    Pereira on the bench with JWP playing...I think I should just effectively start the game again with a minus 12 or 16 this GW instead of a WC

  24. zizoo10
    6 years, 1 month ago

    so is son essential now? spurs look diff since bales arrival

    1. Over Midwicket
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bale wasn't even there

    2. Garlana
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think it has anything to do with bale, more Southampton thinking they can outscore spurs with that terrible high backline that cpl punished them for having.

  25. Obi Wan Elokobi
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I quit. Absolute Gameweek from hell

    1. ididnt
      6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Over Midwicket

  26. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM on the touchline looking to come back on after that Lamptey subbing.

    1. Vazza
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Haha!!

    2. Over Midwicket
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Loool

    3. Brosstan

      😆

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

    Wait , I wasn't paying attention. Why did Lamptey come off.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Prob to rest his and change formation and to annoy fpl owners.

    2. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      kicked off the park

  28. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why didn't Lamptey walk slower? Tie his shoelace etc?
    Hope it is not a regular potter move.

  29. Paul Psychic Octopus
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know why KDB has been hovering all week on 95/96% Target on FPL Statistics, but now is on just 36% with no price increase yet?

    1. Over Midwicket
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Magic

    2. pablo discobar
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think they were locked. So reset this week

    3. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Because they’re guessing what the algorithm is for late starters.

  30. Coolbean
    6 years, 1 month ago

    To all the new Lamptey fanboys out there, he was the star of last preseason and submitted a transfer request in search of guaranteed starts. Jesus, the level of research on here before posting 😆
