The Premier League action gets underway at Elland Road at 12:30 BST, a match that features one of just two teams to play twice in Gameweek 36.

Newcastle United’s ‘double’ begins with a visit to Leeds United, with a home game against Brighton & Hove Albion to follow on Thursday.

Virtually all of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in the lunchtime kick-off is on the Magpies, then, and the team news is broadly positive for the key Fantasy assets on show.

Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak start together for the second match running, the former presumably set to lead the line again and the latter stationed on the left flank.

Eddie Howe has made only one change from the team beaten 2-0 by Arsenal last Sunday, with Miguel Almiron replacing Jacob Murphy on the right wing.

As for the hosts, Sam Allardyce has recalled top scorer Rodrigo Moreno at the expense of the benched Wilfried Gnonto.

Patrick Bamford keeps his place.

The cheapest ‘forward’ in FPL, £4.0m-rated Sam Greenwood, also starts, as does Robin Koch.

Adam Forshaw and Marc Roca are back among the substitutes as a result.

Isak is the most-captained player of the Gameweek if we look at LiveFPL’s numbers for the current top 10,000 Fantasy managers, handed the armband by almost two-thirds of them.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Robles, Ayling, Firpo, Koch, Bamford, Harrison, Rodrigo, Kristensen, McKennie, Wober, Greenwood.

Subs: Meslier, Forshaw, Aaronson, Roca, Summerville, Struijk, Rutter, Gnonto, Gray.

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar, Joelinton, Wilson, Isak, Almiron, Willock, Burn, Guimares.

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

    Saint maximin goal

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      Of course. Of course 🙁

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Tease….

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Isak denied assist

  24. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    ASM goal Isak assist, chalked off

  25. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    ASM scores, but offside flag up...would have been Isak assist

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Isak point dodging as per

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    That yellow is annoying

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would take that with his 2 goals bonus v isak assist !

  28. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Isak needs to cook now

  29. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    More goals in this. One for Isak and he probably finishes a point behind Callum. Always more points possible when you're still on the pitch

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Unless he misses a pen?

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        True....

  30. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Isak flagged to ASM goal.
