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.

  3. Nate(U)dog(ie)

    Leeds having a keeper that saves the more simple shots certainly makes a difference

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Can City sign him?

    2. BeaversWithAttitude

    1. Biggsy

      Better 7 minutes in than 7 minutes from the end. It's the hope that kills you

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yep felt good last week with Steele to concede early since you cannot really lose any more points during the same game.

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

          The same Steele that ended up on -2?

    2. Scapegoat Salah

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Why would you captain tripped versus team fighting relegation ?

      My worry was if the DGW blanks that’s half the team with so many people going for 3x Brighton too ,

      They got Arsenal and Newcastle !

  8. PartyTime

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Got a feeling Ferguson at Brighton is going to be the shrewd pick this week!

    1. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      But you have Trippier (C) and Botman. How can we take what you say seriously 🙂

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That’s the point, it’s all tongue in cheek lol

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Only need one touch to score.

      I'd rather my players were on the shoulder of the last man, rather than dropping deep and accumulating touches.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        In character for you to prefer piggy backs...

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A win for Leeds would be the most interesting thing to happen for both ends of the table.
