Newcastle United entertain Manchester United at St James’ Park in the final Premier League match of the day.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

The big Fantasy Premier League (FPL) news is that Marcus Rashford is passed fit to start, as Erik ten Hag makes three changes from his side’s last outing in the FA Cup.

In come Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot and Antony, with Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho making way. Anthony Martial, meanwhile, is named among the substitutes after overcoming a hip problem.

As for Newcastle, they are unchanged from the side that beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 in Gameweek 28.

That means Nick Pope and Sven Botman both start despite missing international duty with knocks, while Antony Gordon and Callum Wilson make the bench.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock, Murphy, Saint-Maximin, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Joelinton, Gordon, Wilson, Ritchie, Targett, Manquillo, Anderson

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst

    Rashford anonymous today.

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno as well

    2. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Antony more effective.

  9. MGD
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Have DDG, Bruno and Rashford (non-C) and got a 2k rank increase after the goal lol.

  10. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    DDG to save a pen, Trippy to score the rebound and make it 2-0 would be wonderful. Thanks.

    1. Paqueta Rice

      Ask for the lotto numbers while you’re at it 😉

    my BB has 17 points with Kane to play, plus Raya and Schar 2nd match to go. My best BB ever I think.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Schar hasn’t got a CS yet…

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Man utd have been so poor
        It's safe to count schar CS

    So Martinez was the goalkeeper to get this week then. Was considering but in the end went with DDG over him.

      What is the point of this comment, we all have these scenarios every week.

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    HOLD Rashford

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      The guy is playing a PL game. Hold it yourself mate 😉

    Even more annoying my bench boost glitched and got played in a week I didn’t even login earlier in the season =[

    Would have had 22 plus 2 more fixtures today

    1. UKG
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Of course.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 13 Years

      Sigh

  15. Sun Jihai

    3 - Trippier (30)
    2 - Willock (28)
    1 - Botman, Saint-Maximin (25)

    Burn (21)
    Pope (21)

    How do my ML rivals all have Mings and Botman and I have Bruno as a differential. Plummeting down my league like a stone from such a strong first 20gws. I fall down at this stage of the season year in year out.

    I always make what feels like good calls but they seem to backfire. Eg. Cash over Mings on a wc. This game can be so painful sometimes.

      because you come on this forum?

  17. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    clear pen!!!

  18. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    get schar off

  19. tambourineman
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Isak subbed

  20. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Isak owners getting robbed, would have been a nice late penalty

  21. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Schar head is about to fall off,

  22. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Fantastic, cheers Isak

  23. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Awful day today but somewhat rescued by 9 pointer from trips. 6 points between rashy(c) and Fernandes is a sickener. 60points with Kane to play should be a green arrow

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      60 points and feeling hard done by, wow

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Everyone has Trips.

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      Trippier's points are worth nothing with his ownership.

  24. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Willock so greedy. You ain't that good mate!

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford's time up here surely

  26. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mitoma/Mac Allister looking the best captain now?

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      hope so, got Mac

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah wish I stuck with mitoma cap

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah. Went Mitoma myself

  27. putana

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

      Totes.

  28. Chalobah's Witness

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Newcastle yes!

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        nah unfortunately they're far too passive now. Manchester probably in for a late draw.

  29. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno advanced with Fred deep

  30. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Don't mind if the score stays like this. 62 pts and would be up 10k
