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.

    Bissouma has just tipped my team off the edge... that was the final straw

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ooooooo go change your knickers

  2. DandyDon

    Even the bench fodder is failing! Another unnecessary, poor decision by a ref, if he checked VAR he’d see his foot was high but behind his head so can’t be deemed deliberate.

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It was dangerous play and he knew the player was behind

    2. Lord.

      It was deemed dangerous - which it was.

    3. Scholes Out For Summer

      He put his boot 6 ft off the ground. thats a clear red, intentional or not

      1. Sterling Malory
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So red card for all over head kicks?

  3. Not again Shirley
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So on WC last week had a choice between 3 mid price strikers: Bamford, DCL and Wilson

    Guess which one I went for lol

    Also removed Kane for Martial.

    Oh well

    1. DandyDon
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Took out Son myself but brought in DCL and J.Rod at least

      1. Not again Shirley
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I’m gonna help improve by mood by watching This Time with Alan Partridge. Great series.

        Ref did look at it on the screen...not likely to be overturned.

  5. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy, KWP, Davies, Pulisic oh dear

    1. Holding Matip
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lampard literally said Pulisic was out?

      1. Flair
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Was on a hit by that point

  6. Ask Yourself
    6 years, 1 month ago

    It’s okay Alzate was always the best 4.5m mid really I was only joking w you guys

    1. Bruce Lee
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What would you have said to me if I got ASM and Wilson in over Mitro and M Pereira?

      1. Ask Yourself
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I’d have agreed and said it’s okay I took a hit to do Son + Kane to Bruno and martial

        1. Bruce Lee
          6 years, 1 month ago

          It would be bad to laugh, even though you intentionally tried to sabotage my team

          Unlucky bro

          1. Ask Yourself
            6 years, 1 month ago

  7. faux_C
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I hope all these huge hauls stop soon. Turns FPL into too much of a lottery.

    1. Ze_Austin
      6 years, 1 month ago

      When was FPL not a lottery?

      1. Bruce Lee
        6 years, 1 month ago

        EXACTLY

    2. Bruce Lee
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, hopefully it evens out and we can all have the same template team again with just 1 player different each. That is true skill and deffo not a lottery

    3. No Professionals
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It’s the defending. It is a joke standard in the premier league at the moment.

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        6 years, 1 month ago

        And referees

  8. Bruce Lee
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Obviously not intentional from Bissouma

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Did a parasite take control of his brain and make him do it?

      Intentionally meant to hurt someone? No

      Intentionally tried a dangerous flick? Yes aka red

      1. Bruce Lee
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Red card everyone that attempts a overhead kick then

        Softie

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah because that was an overhead kick

          Deluded

          1. Bruce Lee
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Overhead kicks are more dangerous

            Soyboy

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Think studs are more dangerous but that's me

              Sounds like you're the one triggered by a red card and the rules, who's the soyboy?

  9. Flair
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bring in on WC, I have no idea

    1. Ask Yourself
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Penalty takers

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

      Don’t bring Bissouma

  10. Alisson WondHaaland
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Will Bissouma be suspended?

    1. Sterling Malory
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Erm.. Yes?

  11. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How come lamptey cane off today?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      injured it looked like

    2. Ode
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tactical sub, too short

  12. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bissouma getting the same punishment for that as someone who headbutts or punches an opponent. Anyone can see that's not right.

    1. Ask Yourself
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Intentional or not, if someone kicks you in the face you want them sent off

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's a different argument

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

      Well, it was roundhouse kick though...Chuck Norris would be jealous

  13. Andy'81
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Christ, a 3-0 battering at home to Brighton, it's going to be a long old race for 17th in the prem if we keep playing like this.

  14. Stoic
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Got Vinagre and Davis of Villa ahead of Bissouma...

  15. No Professionals

      6 years, 1 month ago

      Of course. 18 from 8 here.

  17. noahzark22
    6 years, 1 month ago

    At least it's not negative points for Bissouma

    1. BenDavies
      6 years, 1 month ago

      silver lining lol

  18. Dr. Rog
    6 years, 1 month ago

    if he kung fu kicked another player, more than a 3 match ban?

    1. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looked closer to ballet than martial arts to me.

  19. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    The way things going these last 2 weeks Utd will duff Brighton, Newcastle will duff Spurs and Arsenal duff Liverpool.

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Its early season, things like this are normal tbh.

  20. Rligudfootiemanager
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can only see a wildcard for Gameweek 3... got Doherty Adams McCarthy sou mid vinegre and Justin.

    1. Rligudfootiemanager
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And auba

      1. Nomar
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm seriously thinking about it too. Doherty, Tierney and ASM all have to go. Auba can naff off as well. After tomorrow I'll probably want to kick out Ramsdale and Norwood too.

        Doherty is the biggest disappointment for me. Clearly not going to get anywhere near replicating his Wolves performances for Spurs.

    2. No Professionals
      6 years, 1 month ago

      People will say no, but there is no point leaving it if you’re team isn’t scoring well and players prices are rising.

      Saying that, I took kane and ASM out for a hit this week.

  21. Whiskerz
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Now I realise I just need to not watch the games involving my players, then they score.

    That or always cap vs Southampton.

    1. Bruce Lee
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hahahahah this x100

    2. Puntillimon
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Watching them haul is quite some pleasure though

  22. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Worst GW i can remember in a very very long time

    34 with salah podence martinez justin left hopefully some consolation points

    1. Nomar
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Worst start to a season ever.

      1. Nightcrawler
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yup..75 last week 34 this week probably ranked in millions now

        1. Nomar
          6 years, 1 month ago

          You had 75 last week? I didn't break 50.

    2. Tempestic
      6 years, 1 month ago

      MATE I'M ON 17

      1. ilikewud
        6 years, 1 month ago

        you have Adams though, what did you expect?

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

      You haven't seen anything. I'm not sure if your post is a no-to-so-subtle brag but I'm on a grand total of 64 points from my combined two weeks with four left. Live rank > 4million. Gotta smile.

  23. Rolls-Royce

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      6 years, 1 month ago

      probably punching a wall

    2. Nomar
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Joining us Doherty owners in smashing things up in rage?

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping for now, bigger issues and I think he could get something against spurs.

    4. Ask Yourself
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Relieved I didn’t watch the game

  25. tiger

  26. Flair

    1. Tempestic

      Is for some 🙁

    2. Grumbledook
      6 years, 1 month ago

      My colleague in the work league has 78 points and counting. Capt Richarlison, Son, Zaha and Ings, still 4 more to play...

      Very much the outlier, jumped from 10th to 1st at the time of this comment! I'm down to second with 28 and 3 to play.

  28. FPLShaqiri
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking about ASM replacements. Options I am considering are Soucek and Podence. Would be aweseome if Soucek in price drops before Saint Max. Any others to consider?

    Ryan
    TAA Mitchell KWP Justin
    Salah Auba Soucek
    Werner Martial Kane

    1. Bobby Digital

      Auba to KDB and roll one transfer

  30. Andy'81
    6 years, 1 month ago

    NUFC should allow fans back in so we can Boo the players off.

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

      😀
      Should get Geordies to send in files of people f'ing and blinding players and shouting f'k Mike Ashley.
      Would be better than nothing.
