Wilson returns for Newcastle as Schlupp starts in advance role

Callum Wilson (£6.5m) is back in the Newcastle team after recovering from the hamstring injury sustained before the international break.

He slots straight back into the side alongside Joelinton (£5.7m) in the two-man partnership of a 4-4-2 formation.

Steve Bruce is, of course, short of Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.3m), leaving Miguel Almirón (£ and Jeff Hendrick (£4.8m) to provide the width from midfield.

While Newcastle have struggled to offer much going forward in their last two matches, they may fancy their chances against a Crystal Palace side that has just one clean sheet in their last 17 Premier League outings.

However, Roy Hodgson has mitigated against that, recalling Gary Cahill (£4.5m) to join Scott Dann (£4.4m) at centre-back.

Cheikhou Kouyaté (£5.0m) has not lost his place though, moving back into central midfield and displacing Jairo Riedewald (£4.4m) to the bench.

Of particular note is the fact that FPL midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m) looks to be the replacement for Wilfried Zaha (£7.3m), who misses out due to self-isolation for coronavirus (COVID-19).

The former Leicester man has been named alongside Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) in a front-two, while Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) and Andros Townsend (£5.9m) are tasked with the left and right flanks respectively.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Cahill, Clyne; Eze, McArthur, Kouyaté, Townsend; Schlupp, Ayew.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow; Lewis, Clark, Fernández, Manquillo; Almirón, S Longstaff, Shelvey, Hendrick; Wilson, Joelinton.

    2. Brosstan

    It is nights like these when I wonder "why am I watching this?" I don't even have a player in this game!

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It was optional to begin with and never promised to be a great game Eh? 🙂

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Playing FPL sometimes forces you into watching games like that to assess your options I suppose

  6. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Lamptey still flagged? I thought he was out for just 1 match...

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Relax, will be removed after their game

    2. have you seen cyan

      it goes after the GW ends

    3. Benjustjamin

      • 9 Years

      He misses 1 match, so after Southampton have played it should change. No guaranteed sources tho

    Who did most captain in the end? I had a manic few days of work and forgot about my team. It appears I have DCL, which feels like it could be a big mistake

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy

    2. Stormbringer22

      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB. I nearly forgot to do my transfer this week and did it a couple of hours before kick off. Mad busy week again. There are worse players that you could have forgotten the armband on this week.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Done 1,000 times already - comments and articles upon articles

      DCL - good choice - went Vardy myself 😉

      1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…

        That was precisely my point, I have been too busy to check the last few days

    Are man city players so unfit that they can't manage to play 2 games in a space of 72 hours???

    Where are the Cancelo benching rumours emanating from?

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Historically they've always done well vs Burnley so City fans speculating that Pep will give him a rest this GW.

    2. Benjustjamin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pep always rotates

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Even that is circumspect 🙂 Most PL managers rotate if involved in stiff competition

        Competing with Zinc and Mendy for the slot

      Imagine you have been on death row for 30 years and as your last wish you are granted leave to watch a live football match...

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This'd put a quickstep in your path to the chair!

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Could I sing chants at it? Could I shout out for my team without some HSE official asking me to keep it safe? What's the worse that could happen if I didn't? I sit in silence ..

        I expect after 30yrs in the can I'd enjoy anything

    5. Shark Team
      • 6 Years

      Chelsea games only under the lights from now on... I hope this help Ziyech cause he is more of a CL masterclass player

    6. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So the dilemma begins-

      A. Do I keep Bruno
      B. Do Bruno to KDB (free)
      C. Do Bruno to Salah by downgrading Bellerin to Targett/Coufal (free)

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years

        The game week has just started take a deep breath and step away from the key board

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years

        Can it begin later?

      3. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The GW has only just started ya know

    7. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can we take a moment to respect how Leeds, Brighton, Villa and Soton don’t play shocking football like the rest in the bottom half of the table. Credit to then

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Southampton are 5th place and villa are 7th with a game in hand

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

          Soton were 11th last year after being in the relegation zone for a while and Villa were 17th.

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            And now they're not

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

              That’s my point I’m paying my respects...

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Without dreadful teams we'd have fewer captaincy options. All praise Fulham!

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes i thank them for their sacrifice

      3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wrong forum. People on here are hoarding players from bottom half team Man City even though they’ve only managed to score one more goal than Fulham.

            Its gw4 but i saved it from then so it is what it is. You'll have to change gameweek

            • 14 Years

            Ah. So that’s why TAA and Robbo have been top of the watch list the whole season

    10. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson has been a bad pick 🙁

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        People call Fernandes, Penandes.

        But Wilson is far more reliant on penalties than Fernandes.

      2. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He hasn't. Newcastle may be absolutely rubbish but they are scoring a sustainable number of goals. Wilson will continue to be steady and really is doing absolutely fine, well even. 80% goal involvement

        He is a disaster from an entertainment pov

    11. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I want to go back to the start of the season when there were 4 goals in every match

    12. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So how can Palace get a penalty when Zaha is not playing? Handball maybe. Hope PVA to score from the spot...

      Its such a joke when commentators give fake praise for dross games like this... Admit its crap, maybe the PL removes these teams eventually

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Get Rangers and Celtic into the PL.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          This is a such a yer da response

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            How?

            Celtic and Rangers, with PL TV money, would bring more competitiveness to the PL. They are royally screwed at the moment being in the SPL. Both have large fan bases and large stadia too.

            Imagine Man Utd vs Celtic, Chelsea vs Rangers etc. Yes, it will take them a few years to bed in, but once that TV money comes through they will be competitive.

            1. Simon69
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

              They're both Scottish teams.

      Just think how many years of football like this under Southgate that we have to look forward to

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I thought Southgate would be good tbh, but yea not convinvced tbh, still the same as usual. Picking players based on which team they play for regardless of form, he probably hates having to include Grealish

        IDK who should be manager, maybe Wenger would be good
