Arsenal head to Newcastle United on bank holiday Sunday in the sixth match of Gameweek 35.

Both teams enjoyed 3-1 wins in their most recent games, beating Chelsea and Southampton respectively.

Eddie Howe makes just one change to his Newcastle starting XI, with Callum Wilson coming in for Anthony Gordon, who drops to the bench.

That means Wilson and Alexander Isak start together for the first time in the Premier League, an intriguing development with Double Gameweek 36 on the horizon.

As for Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes is fit to start despite taking a knock in midweek, with Mikel Arteta’s only alteration seeing Gabriel Martinelli replace Leandro Trossard.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Willock, Murphy, Isak, Wilson

Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Gordon, Saint-Maximin, Lewis, Targett, Manquillo, Almiron, Anderson

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Holding, Trossard, Vieira, Nelson

      Exactly my question, Odegaard for me atm

    5. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Odergaard but it is a lot of guesswork.

    6. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      2. obviously because he's been the one returning in recent weeks and therefore is clearly in form and the better option.

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Leaning 2, less rotation risk

  2. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Isak survives

  3. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    So Wilson had no shots...

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      He had black and white ones

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Operation Isak & Wilson won't be back for Leeds!

  5. turd ferguson
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Trippier dog poo

  6. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Willock and Willson off

  7. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Martinelli rested. Partey started

  8. Sure You Did
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Schar just getting in the scoring mood for when I move him from my bench need him next GW.

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Wilsoff

  10. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    I miss having Arsenal attackers. Debating moving a Brighton mid or two on for them

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      GW38

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Likewise but Mahrez potentially

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Miss them? Where’d they go for so long?

  11. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    So, Isak Wilson double still on here?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Wilson will start next one,Isak benched.

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Based on today’s showing I’d be surprised if he benched Isak. Might end up on the left again but Newcastle are definitely stronger with him in the side.

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Wilson is a predator. Some easier pickings coming

  12. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Strange subs, Saka has been invisible in comparison to Odegaard and Marti

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Actually to be fair, they both looked knackered

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Saka vs Burn might have swayed thinking.

      More defensive work needed vs Trippier.

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Arteta is very set with his subs.They are common ones

  13. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Well done Martinelli. Will take the points!

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Mr. Anderson

  15. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    This game has put me off getting Wilson I think

  16. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Given todays game, best to add
    1.wilson
    2.isak

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        How did you come to this conclusion?

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        You do talk some rubbish at times

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      2

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Isak looks much better

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      2 imo.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Neither

      Newcastle in free fall

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Just lol

  17. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone still keen on Wilson/Isak double up in GW36?

  18. Always a Red Devil
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    nearly time for the proper football come on utd lol

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Not seen the starting XI yet? Malacia, Antony & Weghorst. What could possibly go wrong? If Weghorst scores and we win I’m going to offer to clean the house and cook for a year. I’m that confident

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        we need a big transfer window some of the players are simply not utd players

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          Agreed re Martial etc but what worries me is some are players be bought in. Antony is nowhere near the level we need. Malacia is a squad filler at best. I hope I’m wrong but looking at the XI’s, I just can’t see us coming away with 3 points tonight

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Newcastle United lost at home to Manchester City, Liverpool and likely Arsenal this season.

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Point being?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Best season in a long time bar against the v best teams.

  20. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    The last time I listen to so called Twitter experts to play Trippier over Shaw. Fuming

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Stood by my guns this time and benched the waster, Trippier offers nothing now

  21. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Refs need to start booking divers

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Rashford be banned every other week...

      1. Maddamotha
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Rashford?! Lol

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Don't they always say 'this season' they will but never actually do

  22. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Just remembered I sold Gabriel for Akanji for a hit

    1. DLLM
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Sold white for dalot here..

  23. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Dalot benched. But I have Zinchenko first sub. Any chance of some bench jam?

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Dalot will (sadly for you) most likely come on for Malacia or AWB.

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      nope im united fan dalot will come on

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Yep. Looking forward to my 1 point! FML

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      he will come in at some point

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Nah cameo for you

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Malacia YC might mean Dalot comes on

  24. snow pea in repose
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    FPL assist rules need to be revisited. An opposing player deflecting in a shot should not be an assist under any circumstances

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Rubbish. Perfect rule for FPL.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      It absolutely should he a fantasy assist!

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Why not?

    4. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      It's a cross for someone to score. If the opponent puts it in, it's still an assist

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      He created the goal

    6. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      He literally assisted the goal...

    7. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Nothing wrong with this.

    8. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Assist by definition is helping a teammate score. I think that should be the FPL definition as well

  25. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Almiron almost killed Ramsdale there.

  26. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Why are 5 subs still around? Ruines the games imo

    1. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      its not really any different from before theyre still only allowed 3 breaks to bring the 5 on (correct me if im wrong)

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        The is news to me tbh. Still hate it though.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      It does play to the bigger sides, but then they have additional games.

      Difficult one, but I would prefer 3 from 7 then 5 from 9.

      All academic though.Eventually it will be unlimited size benches and rolling subs.

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Playing 3 games a week regularly is too much of a strain on players

      Do we want lots of good quality games or to stick to outdated rules?

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        But changing 4 of the 5 subs in the last 10 minutes when you are 2-1 up isn't really about resting players.

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I would like 11 subs and you can bring players back on after subbing them off. And games should be 5 hours long

  27. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Goodbye Saka, sold and never to return

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Switching Marti to Saka on WC my standout worst decision of the season

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Yeah it’s been a shocking season man, can’t wait for it to end

  28. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    After Trent, my second highest scorer this GW is Olise with 3.

    I tend to have the same team as those on the FPL podcast but who oddly score 20pts more than me most weeks.

    I am sure they will have all got 70+ pts with 9 of my 11.

    1. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Olise scored 2 for me 🙁

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Oh s**t, he did.

        Oh well, second highest scorer of 2.

  29. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Plz dalot Don't come to the field..white is my first sub

  30. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Late decision to play Watkins over Martinelli went well.
