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.

    Firpoo

    Ref does Sam a favour there. Why is he ever picked? Bielsa's worst decision.

    1. The Abyss
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t think Bielsa had anything at all to do with Leeds signing that trash.

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

    Trippier screamer incoming. When he hits a young child in the crowd...

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years

    Trip(c) please!

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wow that was unusual choice

  5. Kaneyonero

    Isak talking to trippier

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

      Do we get points for that?

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Schar or trippier

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any points for either from that?

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

    Trippier on the free kick?

  9. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Isak useles

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rubbish fk from trippier

  11. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lol. No lollygagging on the pitch!

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Fan pushes Howe

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of Howe, I presume.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Does Isak get an assist for that?

  13. Sure You Did
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t wait for the Trippier OG to be added

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

      If it is, we riot

  14. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why's Willock's assist been removed?

      1. Helviusling
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I have him tripple C omg

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I was wondering why it was given in the first place? No assist for the pen because it was hand ball.

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

        Player who plays the ball that results in a handball always gets the assist in FPL.

        1. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I see. I assume Willock crossed it in then?

          1. Traction Engine Foot
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah he did

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

      It should come back. It better.

      1. Helviusling
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt they would remove it just now. And then re-add it later?

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

    Trips 0 points .. almost

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier lucky there

    No yellow

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

      Ref remembered he had captained him

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

      Phew, the +4 places I am earning for the Trippier 1 pointer are safe

  17. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gordon has easily been one of the biggest flops of the season. He's done absolutely nothing every time I've seen him so far for Newcastle

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

    That big guy with the beard should be in the next Bond movie.

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

      Slow start but stepped up!

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

        Yeah really wasn't paying attention to his job at all but good menace at the end.

  19. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I bought Felix this week but benched him as the predicted line ups had him nowhere in sight.

    Looks like he's on for Rashford. Haul please.

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

      Where were you looking at a predicted Rashford start?

      1. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Felix

  20. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks March for blocking Wilson move. Batman starting instead.

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Schar shot saved

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

      For flip sake. JUST GIVE ME ONE.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Only time he gets any points is when I free hit him out. Looks like scoring every week and then bangs in an own goal

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

    Schar goal denied

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

    2 dropped points from Newcastle with Brighton up next for them.

    United and Liverpool could punish them for this...

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

      Game on ...

      Great start to the weekend tho.

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

      Think they may end up having to rely on their superior goal difference.

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

    Isak benched next week? Wilson to start?

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

      Should be yeah

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

      Likely

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lol how? Plenty of rest inbetween

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

        None of the people that think he will be inexplicably rested own him, that's all.

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

      Yep.

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

      They're not dropping Isak in such an important game so they can play the likes of Gordon or bendy legged Saint Maxim.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This. No idea how people come to the conclusion that Isak wouldn’t start, especially with bucket loads of rest!

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

          Yep, they're benching their record signing for a game that's pivotal to getting into the Champions League because a 23 year old can't play a game of football five and a half days apart...

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Lmao! Spot on!

    6. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You wish 😀

  25. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    G how bad is ASM

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Adama Traore 2.0

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yes

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

    As a Isak capper and Wilson owner that was a bit dissapointing

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We rise

  27. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    15k rank rise - wish I had captained Wilson instead of Isak. But still happy.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same

  28. DLLM
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson lucky hauls especially for the 2nd pen (was going off) but that’s how fpl works.

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

      Always better to be lucky than good

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why is the club nominated pen taker lucky?

    3. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. But you also have to score the pen. Ask Bam-Bam.

  29. TyroneGAA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Willock assist removed?

    1. Dollyems15
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeh I have him as well, surely he gets the assist

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Phew 1 Skull down
