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.

    Well we were all warned this was a BGW, I just thought the "B" referred to the fixtures not the players 🙄

    Does Barnes get winning goal bonus against Spurs? Currently showing as 1 bap

      I’d have thought so? But it’s not updated as far as I can see since the game ended so maybe it’ll adjust still

    So this gw basically is done what a shietter

    Moving on..

    Who you all thinking to captain midweek?

    I’m leaning towards sterling over salah

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same although Sterling will play final so slightly worried about rotation afterwards when City win

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah i sold him this week to bring son

        Plan to reserve the transfer but will wait to see how he gets on tomorrow

    2. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same for me

    3. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Kun for me! Salah vc

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds good wish I owned him

    4. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero I think.

  4. Majestic Chanka
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How much benchwankery are we expecting this week? Not sure if my slight green right now is accurate or not.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      https://www.livefpl.net/autosubs

      Not a lot do it and those that have done it this GW don't have a lot from it.

      1. Majestic Chanka
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice, the FPL Live site is pretty amazing!

        Didn’t think it had a benchwank-o-meter!

    Sevilla are all over Barca

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah they're bossing it

  6. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    AWB and Camarasa don’t feature and no bench as all Man City and Chelsea. So max 9 players. Marvellous 🙁

    This is going to be a week to forget....roll on next week!!

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fair play to Ville Ronke. Only has 9 players and resisted taking several hits to get 11.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He knew!

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        And he's now set for 31 with Hazard and Rich. What a player.

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The guy's unreal. Pretty sure he's a prophet.

    No "suprise" or "shock" in the title of this article 😯

    1. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Compensated for by the shock induced by Almiron's caterpillars

    Oh no.

  14. Andy Mac

    Thoughts on Kane vs Sterling?? Was going to get sterling in this week but should we be considering Harry now he’s back?

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hayden assist

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Please tell me that's Schar's first name?

  16. Ghost Gooner
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Rondonaldo 😎

  17. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I only have two players who DON'T play another player in my team.

    Hoping for Clyne and Solanke to combine for a goal, while forcing plenty of saves from Patricio in the second half, while Bournemouth get a cleanie unless Doherty is involved with at least one of the goals.

    Then tomorrow, 5 players from Liverpool United game. Need a Liverpool cleanie or preferably United goals galore with Robbo and TAA involved at the other end too. Anyone here have 6?

    Difficult gameweek to choose who to support haha.

    Nothing going right!!

  19. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    It really isn't an overstatement saying Rondon should have had 4 goals by now

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      25% conversion would make him one of the best in the league. He's already around 15%, which fairly significantly better than last season.

    Woo! Got Hayden this week! 😀
