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.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wilson probably starts next game and Isak rested though

  3. JELLYFISH

  6. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kinda tempted to get rid of Trips. Been how long without a return?

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

      He'll be benched en masse next week I'd imagine

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

      Swap for Stones or Dias possibly?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Have Stones already

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Returns next week on everyone's bench probably

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Could very well do.

    5. WALOR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier is the biggest troll.
      Cannot believe I kept him on WC.
      Underlying stats my @ss.

  7. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Feel like Lindelof on my bench might outscore Dunk

  8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guess my dream last night was inaccurate 😀 (Wilson 4, Isak 16)

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dream better, mate

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hey, I captained Wilson in spite of it 🙂

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

      Happy with my late change of mind from Isak to Wilson right now

  9. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle missing Longstaff control in midfield

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

    Has Isak had a shot yet?

  11. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa dropped....

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well, that solves one problem for next week…

  12. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Serves Howe right for taking off Wilson when he’s on a hattrick.

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

      How to say you have Wilson(C) without saying you have Wilson(C)

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

  13. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    To echo Mr O'Connell, f**k off Solly March

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mendy starts

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

      His team is linked. He captained Wilson.

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

      His teams linked and no he didn't

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

    Tbf

    Trippier did get his goal and he's all about attacking returns

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

      Good try but he only got an assist as per fpl

  16. Skout
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    As a Wilson owner and Isak (C), would I have been better off Isak or Wilson taking the second pen?

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

    Newcastle in danger of bottling top 4 here.

    I’d be pretty pissed off with Firpo not being sent off if I’m a Geordie.

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

    Lol if Steele gets benched now, I'll be without a keeper. Would make the decision not to go Steele to Pope even more ridiculous

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

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
