Saint-Maximin and Barnes return as Newcastle host Burnley

St James’ Park will play host to a number of returning mid-priced assets on Saturday evening.

After missing the trip to Spurs with an ankle problem, Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) is back in the Newcastle side for Gameweek 4.

He sits on the flanks of midfield as Steve Bruce looks to match Burnley’s formation with a 4-4-2 of his own.

The only Newcastle asset coming into this weekend with more Fantasy support is Callum Wilson (£6.4m), who still has the backing of 10% of managers.

The former Bournemouth man is Newcastle’s top scorer thus far, having netted twice, once from the penalty spot.

Sean Dyche is probably the more relieved of the two managers at Newcastle tonight as he welcomes back both James Tarkowski (£5.4m) and Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) to his starting line-up.

The centre-back pushes Jimmy Dunne (£4.0m) to the bench, as he features alongside Kevin Long (£4.5m), while Chris Wood (£6.5m) and Barnes are paired up-front for the first time this season.

Newcastle United XI (4-4-2): Darlow; Lewis, Schär, Fernández, Krafth; Hendrick, Shelvey, Hayden, Saint-Maximin; C Wilson, Joelinton.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Tarkowski, K Long, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, D Stephens, Brownhill; A Barnes, Wood.

    Can’t belive I played WC in GW3. My team is a joke. Only good thing Is I have almost no points. Delete team, and start a new team for GW5?

    1. SteJ
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Unless you've lost lots of team value or have less than say 80 points total, just take loads of hits instead

  7. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Joelinton is a truly awefull footballer.

  8. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I know that New is playing vs MUTD next but Mitro to Wilson is so tempting.

  9. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Damn got rid of Wilson just before deadline

  10. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Newcastle won't play Burnley every week.

    United, Wolves and Everton next 3

    Not worried about Wilson or a crocked again ASM

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I actually have Wilson in my draft team.

    Oddly enough, doing really well in the draft version of FPL.

    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have ASM first and Bissouma second on my bench ... I hope that 2 of Saiss, TAA, Justin, Salah, Aubameyand and Adams won't play
    Chances of the liverpool match being cancelled due to Mane's positive test ?

    1. Dont give a fuchs
      • 10 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Stupid, stupid, stupid....

    Transferred out JRod, to bring in KDB as Captain

    to make it worse I did it for a hit.

    and worse still took the armband off DCL to give it to KDB

      • 14 Years

  21. jaguar shark

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years

      Yes

    2. Blzbobuk

  22. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    had higher hopes for this gw but just not happening at all for my team.

    am tempted to ditch kdb

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Crazy talk...

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      werner and kdb out

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wildcarded Son out for Greenwood in GW 2 when Son scored 4

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      FPL is the work of The devil.

  24. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Early rough with the smooth contender here: sold Wilson for DCL for a hit *face palm*

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL still scored, no?

  25. Beard of Zeus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    DCL going up again tonight with Liv next game.. oof.

  26. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    With Wilson having (MUN/WOL/EVE/SOU/CHE/CRY) next is it worth holding him or ship him as a part of 2FT (Wilson/Werner—> DCL/Jimenez)

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm thinking of getting him if Mitrogoal doesn't get something soon and Kane struggles without Son.

    2. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’d just do Werner to DCL now and wait for the other. Werner will fall in price, Wilson and DCL will rise. See how you feel about Wilson to Jimi nearer the gwk

  27. One More Hit
