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.

  14. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Wilson and Isak just doesn’t work. Howe needs to bench Wilson and only stat Isak

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      10 mins in

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson much more of a goal threat, Isak needs to come off

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    As a Trippier only owner, I'm happy with that.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah no sh*t 😆

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Meant defenders... have Wilson and Isak(C).

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      This

  16. DycheDycheBaby

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Keeping Botman was obviously a dumb idea

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Had him so long as bench player, kept for dgw, even benched trippier in last two games!

  17. Offside Trapattoni
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Pope has single handed my ruined my season yet I can’t seem to be rid of him.

  18. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Excellent

  19. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Holding onto botman along with tripps was a dgw trap, this was the game we thought the cs may be on after just one in last dozen or so

  20. fusen

    Newcastle have had 1 cleansheet in 15 games.

    What did we expect? :p

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      We expected a miracle. But miracles are extremely rare

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leeds had also scored in their last 10, as have Brighton

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier in Scout Picks next week?

      Like night follows day...

  21. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I bet it stays 1:0 till the end.

  22. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Leeds hahaha love you

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No chance of that, 1-5 final score me thinks

  27. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I hope Botman scores to shut up these "Trippier only" owners 😀

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Burn for me
