Almirón makes full debut for Newcastle in Gameweek 27

Newcastle United’s record signing Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) is set for his full Premier League debut this afternoon.

The Paraguayan international started his Magpies career off with a substitute’s appearance against Wolves in Gameweek 26 but is in the starting line-up to face Huddersfield.

Despite adding some much-needed pace to his side, Rafa Benitez continues with a back-five featuring Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) in a left wing-back role.

Jan Siewert’s Huddersfield side are led by Laurent Depoitre (£5.1m), while budget midfielder Jason Puncheon (£4.2m) starts on the right flank of attacking midfield.

Diogo Jota (£6.1m) owners will be happy to see him still in the Wolves starting XI after recent fitness issues.

Matt Doherty (£5.4m), who recently had a yellow flag of his own to contend with, is also in the starting line-up for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth continue to struggle for injuries, with Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) handed his second start for the club up front.

Josh King (£6.4m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) also start while there is a full Premier League debut at centre-back for Chris Mepham (£4.5m).

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Smith; Ibe, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser; King; Solanke.

Wolves XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Jiménez, Diogo Jota.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Schär, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Hayden, Longstaff, Almirón; Rondón.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Smith, Zanka, Schindler, Löwe; Mooy, Hogg, Bacuna; Kachunga, Depoitre, Puncheon.

      He is carrying Barcelona single handedly in a lot of games this season

          Yeah but this season Suarez has been missing a lot of chances and without a proper backup or creative force ... Messi is shouldering a greater responsibility

            Kevin Prince to the rescue 😛 😀

    Deulofeu could easily outscore my team.

      True.. same here, how weird! Not as painful as my ML H2H having Delfol 2nd on his bench coming on for 23 pts purely because he couldn't be bothered to sort out his BGW27. Or worse.... being rammed by a ghost ship

    Plymouth are being weird again. They were in the relegation zone in December, but are now closing in on the playoffs. Exactly the same as last season 😯

      They ain’t anywhere near the play offs !!!!!! Much closer still to being relegated fortunately.

      Love Pompey

    Just realised that my cash league leader who I'm marginally behind has Luiz playing but Deulofeu 1st sub, damn it!

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years

  14. Debauchy
    • 11 Years

    Rondon lacks quality at times, can be frustrating to watch when owning.

      "at times"

      1. Deulofail

        The Rondon hate is inexplicable. He's a good footballer imo
