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.

    I’ve got Son and Ings. I’m a spurs fan too. Inject this

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ditto, too bad I had McCarthy and Dier too.

    You guys are upset that we're getting entertaining football with lots of goals?

      Curse of FPL

    2. Brosstan

      Penalties arent exciting football

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Goals open up the game

    3. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, loving it.

    4. Surfeit of Lampteys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not entertaining though. It's absolutely shambolic mostly.

    Craziest start to a season I have ever seen

  5. Kodap
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How do i get Son into this team, on a WC?

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

    1. jimmy6363
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Got to drop Werner or Jimenez!

      1. Kodap
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would you drop either of those to bring in son or leave it?

        1. jimmy6363
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I'm planning similar and gone Son over Werner. Concerned about European fixtures though, plus Bale coming in, who knows...

    So.....

    With so little evidence to go on how do you decide which players haven't played well but will come good (as Spurs did this week) and which players haven't played well and will continue not to play well because they're simply in a bad place?

    1. UshFPL
      6 years, 1 month ago

      This is why I'm unsure on playing my wildcard

    2. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Adams

    3. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Feels like Spurs benefitted massively from how naïve and poor Southampton were. Son and Kane were elite for sure, but I'm not sure how to judge this performance overall

    4. puhd
      6 years, 1 month ago

      In trying to decide on Soucek. Looks great on the pitch but two blanks in a row.

    5. mixology

      If spurs weren’t excited with the return of Bale than they were dead in the water. Positive response

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

      You’re right... delay the wildcard until GW16 :rolleyes:

  7. tiger

    Maupay already on a hat trick...I mean it's becoming normal now.

    TROSSARRDD!

    Zeros from 2 defenders nice.

    With Mitchell first sub

    1. puhd
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same here, only Mitchell second sub after Vinagre!

  10. Ha.

    What is going on?

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2020 things.

  11. Royal5
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lol why on earth did Lampard sell Lamptey?

    1. Utopsis
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Reece James

      1. Royal5
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I see. Looks like a huge mistake.

        1. Utopsis
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Nah don't agree. Both are good enough to play 1st team football in the PL and both want to, so a deicison had to be made. Not yet convinced Lamptey is better than James.

          1. Royal5
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Well can't lose out on talents like this. At least lone him out. Or even try to change one of them to rb like they did with Azpi.

            1. Utopsis
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah it's a shame to lose him but I guess 1 team can't hog all the talented players, they won't sign new contracts cos they're not playing week in week out

  12. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That was a hand ball damn it

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

    Do not buy expensive defenders. Refs are giving goals and penalties away like they’re oxygen

    1. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. On my WC I've got Saiss my only 5m and 6x 4.5s at the back. Shame 4 of them belong to Leeds and Saints 🙁

      At least Lamptey is amongst the numbers.

  14. jimmy6363
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hows this for a WC team?

    McCarthy // Steer
    TAA, Saiss, Justin // Mitchell, Ferguson
    Salah, KDB, Son, Zaha // Podence
    Bamford, DCL, Jimenez

    1. Royal5
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not McCarthy.

    2. shiregeriatric

  15. Brosstan
    6 years, 1 month ago

  19. JELLYFISH

    Lamprey broken by Voldemort

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

    Lamptey first on my bench. Any chance of a Justin no-show?

    1. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Theres a chance, very small

  25. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Those owning man united players panicking now over Brighton's performance.

  26. Surfeit of Lampteys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anguissa is 4.5m?! Wow, now that is a deal I can't say no to. He was superb yesterday.

  27. Weasel Boy

    Guess that Wilson hatty ain't gonna happen now

  28. Pukki Blinders
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I can't bare this rubbish anymore, refs just make up their own rules and decide who wins themselves.

  29. FPL Scoop

    6 years, 1 month ago

    KWP to Lamptey on WC?

  30. Maarrrr17
