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.

    Lindelof deserves this start. Been amazing recently.

    Dalot mudded.

    1. Vote Joke
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ‘Lindelof’ and ‘amazing’ should never be in the same sentence.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He has been superb though. Impeccable in the last few games. Players can change.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Wouldn’t go that far, he’s been alright.

    2. DLLM

      Disaster to bring in dalot instead of shaw in gw35 due to short of fund…

  2. Gandalf

    Time for Isak to shine

  3. Riverside Red

    Wilson the worst player on the pitch....but gets a massive haul....

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

      Bamford says hi.

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That’s okay, we only need points.

    3. Sure You Did

      Salty tears taste better.

  4. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sancho Martial Anthony really isn't a front three that strikes fear in the opposition...

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Quite funny if anything

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Strikes fear into the corner flags and folk in Row Z…

    3. LegendMoon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wolves can’t score, United can’t score, this has got 3-3 written all over it

  5. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rival in a big ML got in Wilson when it was obvious he wouldn't start a couple of gameweeks ago, simply from not paying attention. He came on and scored twice, and that decision has now cascaded into a million new goals

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

      A meellion goals ?

  6. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How did Isak get the assist for the pen? He headed the ball after the handball

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Different Pen.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He was fouled for the first one

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He didn’t Willock did, Isak got the assist for the first pen

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He got assist for the first goal

    5. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ah I see

  7. DMP
    • 10 Years

  13. Dušan Citizen

    • 12 Years

    Isak looks disinterested

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Knows he's not starting the Brighton game

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  22. Scots Gooner

    Looking forward to not playing Trippier the last two game weeks.

    What a massive disappointment he’s been since the WC

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So many gains to be had getting off him. The EO fear was too real

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. I thought about it many times but continually bottled it or delayed it.

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you didn't captain him, you want him to do badly.

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Well I did captain him

  29. The Philosopher

    Now's the time, Mr Isak Newton

  30. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson looked really leggy today.
    I did (c) him but must admit that was a very lucky haul. Didn’t look like scoring from open play.

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

      I like your humbleness because it makes me feel better 🙁
