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.

    The real win for me is being able to rename my "New Year's" team from Aub-yang Syne to Aub-yang Clyne.

    Salah triple captain against Huddersfield looks more enticing by the minute.

    If this anything to go by then gw31 is going to be tough as well

    1. Deulofail

      Luckily, there is no causative link.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Correlation vs causation
        😛

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          No correlation either. Not yet

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Blank gw >>> Correlation ??
            😮

            1. Deulofail

              5 years, 2 months ago

              You need to fill in the cells with some data to compare. E.g. You can't just say there's a correlation between Indians and Britons (because they exist). You need to say what data correlates. E.g. happiness scores over time.

        Outside of Liv we'll be limited to crap assets and forced to take hits. If your players blank there is no one to rescue you

    2. TorresMagic™

      Hudds play.

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years

  18. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Please one of the following don't play;
    Salah, Pogba, Rashford, Vardy or Auba (c).

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Well Vardy is in the starting line up. So you're basically hoping for a warm-up injury on him.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Should've trusted my gut (wanted to lose Son) which would've meant starting Deulofeu
