Fantasy Football players selecting Callum Wilson (£6.6m) in their Free Hit teams will be disappointed to see Steve Bruce has stuck with a back five system for Newcastle’s visit to bottom of the table Sheffield United.

Kickoff at Bramall Lane is at 1800 GMT.

Wilson will be hoping to rekindle his partnership with former Bournemouth teammate Ryan Fraser (£5.6m), who returns to the starting lineup.

Karl Darlow (£5.0m) retains his position in goal for the Magpies, despite an impressive performance from Martin Dubravka (£4.8m) in the FA Cup.

The three centre backs, Federico Fernandez (£4.7m), Fabian Schar (£4.9m) and Ciaran Clark (£4.5m) will be flanked by Deandre Yedlin (£4.3m) and Paul Dummett (£4.4m) at wing-back.

Steve Bruce has selected an industrious midfield pairing of Jeff Hendrick (£4.6m) and Isaac Hayden (£4.7m) with Sean Longstaff (£4.7m) supporting the attack.

Chris Wilder has chosen to replace Lys Mousset (£5.8m) with out-of-position midfielder Oliver Burke (£4.3), who partners David McGoldrick (£5.2m) up front.

Other than that, the Blades’ lineup has a very familiar look to it, with Ethan Ampadu (£4.3m), Chris Basham (£4.6m) and Jon Egan (£4.7m) at centre-back.

Jayden Bogle (£4.3m) will be hoping to build on his promising attacking displays from wing-back, and Wilder will hope Ben Osborn (£4.8m) can offer the same kind of threat on the left.

John Fleck (£5.6m), John Lundstram (£4.9m) and Oliver Norwood (£4.6m) will be in the centre of the park for Sheff United.

Aaron Ramsdale (£4.7m) continues in goal.

Newcastle XI: Darlow; Yedlin, Fernandez, Schar, Clark, Dummett, Hendrick, Hayden, Longstaff, Fraser, Wilson

Ramsdale; Bogle, Basham, Ampadu, Egan, Osborn; Fleck, Lundstram, Norwood; McGoldrick, Burke

    Wilson with a 96th minute equaliser. Wilder and Bruce both sacked in the morning.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      That escalated quickly...

      Wilder won't be sacked. You'd be deluded to think that he has a PL quality team, let alone squad.

      Mad how Pool have consistently been able to extract such ludicrous fees for crap like Brewster, Ibe and Solanke.

    Sheffield winning their first game of the season on the opening night of the blank gameweek when we all have at least 1 Newcaste player.

    This is FPL at its finnest lmao. So typical.

      No Poocastle in my team.

        Lol like Wilson isn't on 90% of the FH teams.

      Last night before I watched BlackBox, I had the thought, "what if I went all in on SHU (McG & Ramsdale) instead of NEW (Wilson & Darlow)?"

      Then I noticed Wilson-->McG allowed me to upgrade to Lloris. Guarantee Fulham will score.

    Big mistake getting a Toon player. Dead to me, Wilson.

  19. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Neto a better option then Wilson

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

  28. Chandler Bing

    5 years, 6 months ago

    How many DGW players would you want to have as a bare minimum to consider using BB granted that all players (single or dgwers) have a fairly decent fixture?

    1. joeydordon
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      In same boat thought wise what's your squad

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Martinez/Areola
        Stones Dias Wan-B Coufal Dier
        Son Bruno KdB Soucek Maddison
        Adams Kane Bamford

        If Soton Vs Leeds gets postponed, I'm down to 11 DGWers and if Villa Vs Ervrton also goes to the bin, it's 10 players only.

        1. joeydordon
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          -4 gives me 13 with kane dier but if games are off I'll just do 1 sub play 11 still but spurs assets are making me think it's a great time to hit it and wc when fixtures change or some covid related madness happens. Id bb that team but all about fixtures atm

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Considering playing BB often means you need you be economical with the bighitters , i would say 10 or 11

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Probably a minimum of 9. Think if you've double Spurs with a sprinkle of Arsenal, you'll still do well.

    McGoaldrick haul banked.
