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.

    What to do here? * for those who need to go, IMO

    Etheridge (Guaita*)
    Robbo - Doherty - W-B - Bednarek - Danilo*
    Pogba - Salah - Son - KdB* - Puncheon*
    Auba - Rash - Rondon
    0.1 ITB

    In addition to the starred players, I am thinking of dropping Auba and Robbo to hopefully finance Aguero and Sterling (or Hazard). Have TC, FH and BB left.

    1. Jeremy Corbyn

      Why Guaita?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, balls, that's Speroni, not Guaita.

          5 years, 1 month ago

          tough, try first and understand when you want to FH. Then slowly build towards that. So, do not take hits if possible. You do not need to get rid of Auba right now, for example. Robbo would be total madness. Only clear improvements.

      Meh, Deeney > Rondon.

      1. QUEN
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I did Llorente > Rondón 🙂

        I was on 7 points with 5 players to go so Rondón has helped reduce the damage

    Hayden has been pretty good value these last two games I’ve played him.

    1. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I wish I got him instead of camarasa but I heard his position was in risk.

      Do you know if it still is?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No idea but I can’t see Rafa benching him considering how he’s played

    • 10 Years

        You lost it 🙁

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

    Asked before but can't remember if I ever got a conclusive answer. Do penalty saves count as saves? Sounds like an obvious 'yes', but just checking. Patricio could have got an extra 6 points if he got fingertips to that.
