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.

Above: The Gameweek 36 ‘effective ownership’ stats of the top 10,000 FPL managers

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.

    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Of course Wilson the one on pens.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why wouldn't he be? He always was

  6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson was always on pens . He's only missed like 1 ever. Think that was at Bou under Howe

  7. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson(c) going ok, not bad for Isak cappers too.

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      More then ok he scored pal
      Better than a traditional injury and 1 pointer

  8. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How Bamford is still relevant is beyond amazing.

  9. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    15 from 3 ...

    We're off and Gandhi is smiling

  10. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bamford should be unemployed. This guy costing Leeds safety so many times.

  11. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Party time for Isak, Wilson, Pope triple owners

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      My draft team in heaven. Only Schar hasn't returned... But still time!

    3. Dringerland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That’s no-one. Everyone has Trippier.

  12. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    More luck for Wilson owners

    1. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Salty tears.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Define luck

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How?!

    4. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Picking a player who has scored lots of points recently and getting more points from that player isn’t luck.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        And the obvious pen taker

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Always crying over something arnt you. Poor , hard done to guy .

    6. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is luck just anyone getting points from players you don’t own?

  13. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson el capitano but Isak fks. it up for me as usual

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    BT sort the audio out got voices in background

  15. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wow! Just turned the game on and my keeper has made a penalty save and my captain has scored a penalty. Finally something has gone right!

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Legendary sequence for Pope/Wilson owners. May never happen again in the FPL.

  16. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    F***ing Solly March

    1. wakenbagel
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      same...could've had both Callum and Isak today

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Continues to derail my season. Best thing was I took out Odegaard to get him.

      2. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This - couldn't justify a minus 8

      3. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Same

  17. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    It's a difference of 1pt for Wilson Isak owners who captained either

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bonus points for Wilson

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    World nr. 1 knows

  19. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    F really lost any motivation for the run in, been set on Botman to Wilson swap all the time and then that March injury

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Should have taken the point hit

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Make replies empathetic again...

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Isak (c) gets 6 points from that even
    Average team gets 1.42 x 3 for Isak and 0.49 x 4 for Wilson = 6.2 points (higher if considering Wilson bonus)
    So red arrow from the Isak assist

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Isak playing no. 10

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He's further forward and more central than Wilson

      On ave. on SofaScore

      Along with Almiron further right

      1. Sure You Did
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I take points over average position.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yup

    3. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just logged in to say the same thing, Howe has definitely moved him into the middle in the last 10 minutes.

  22. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    rival has pope and wilson (c) unbelievable shite season ,thank god only 2gws left

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      On the bright side, at least they're not your rival any more.

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Schar heads over from Trippier corner.
    ... way over.

  24. JOELIO8701
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pretty lucky if you’ve got Wilson and even luckier if you’ve captained him. It wasn’t the skill move

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      :/

    2. Leeroy357
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, so lucky that the penalty taker who's scoring every 60 mins scores a penalty agaisnt one of the worst defences in the league

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm enjoying it

    4. Dringerland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’m pleased with the points haul from my non-skill move, especially as I also blundered into having Isak, too.

    5. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol I’ve got your number now

    6. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Haha unlucky nerd

  25. Merlin the Wraith
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Already 15pts from 3 after 30ish mins. Half my total gw35 score... This bl**dy game....

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can’t believe Isak won it but didn’t take

    1. TyroneGAA
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He’s not the penalty taker

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Isak will take the next pen

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Doubt

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Guess not...

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

      Also cannot believe the club penalty taker took the penalty. When will the madness end?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        People pretending they knew who was on pens now

        1. Sure You Did
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I already knew Wilson was on pens. Isak when he isn’t on pitch. Fact you didn’t is irrelevant to me.

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Sure you did

            1. Sure You Did
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Correct, sucks that you didn’t.

              1. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                It’s okay, I have a much better rank than you

                1. Sure You Did
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 11 months ago

                  Just checked, you don’t. And with that team, NewC double defence and Isak C, no surprises. Keep crying 🙂

                  1. Bubz
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 11 months ago

                    You don’t link your team so I don’t believe you 🙂

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trippier (C), Botman and Murphy - I’m good at this

  28. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    McKennie still thinks he's playing in Serie A. No engine room for Leeds.

  29. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So the Gandhi rule doesn't always apply..

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Gandhi rule conditions exclude DGW Teams..

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not when Isak Newton and Cast away's ball are in play

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson close
