Fraser and Ritchie among the subs as unchanged Newcastle take on Brighton

The second of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Brighton and Hove Albion make the long trip north to face Newcastle United.

Kick-off at St James’ Park is at 14:00 BST.

From a Fantasy perspective, it’s probably fair to say that, in general, there is less riding on this game than in the other three fixtures today.

There is nevertheless still plenty of interest in the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.5m), Callum Wilson (£6.5m) and Mathew Ryan (£4.5m), all three of whom have double-digit ownerships in Fantasy Premier League.

That trio of players starts this afternoon, with there being only one change to the starting XIs from Gameweek 1 across the two teams combined.

Steve Bruce has unsurprisingly made no alterations to his line-up following the opening-day win over West Ham United.

That means that Ryan Fraser (£6.0m), Miguel Almiron (£6.0m) and Matt Ritchie (£5.0m) have to be content with a place among the substitutes.

Graham Potter’s only change sees Aaron Connolly (£5.5m) come in for Adam Lallana (£6.4m), with the latter having limped out of the defeat to Chelsea last Monday.

Lallana is fit enough for a place on the bench, however.

Ben White (£4.5m) has also recovered from injury and keeps his place in the back three.

There were no goals in either meeting between the two clubs last season.

Indeed, not one of the last six fixtures between Newcastle and Brighton has seen more than two goals scored.


Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Lewis, Hayden, Shelvey, Hendrick, Saint-Maximin, Carroll, Wilson.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, White, Dunk, Webster, Lamptey, Bissouma, Alzate, March, Trossard, Maupay, Connolly.

    When you want to buy Lamprey but you realise that you own Ryan Walton and Bissouma.......

    Any suggestions?

    McCarthy
    Davies TAA AWB
    Salah Auba ASM* Son
    Werner Adams Mitrovic

    subs: Steer Mitchell Justin Bissouma

    Adams + ASM out?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Adams to a 4.5 and Zaha and play 352?

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba and ASM out for me

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba & Adams to a MF of your choice (Son) + DCL. ASM the following week to Zaha - work? Bench is good enough to support ASM for 1 week

  8. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy* Button
    TAA Davies* Coady Justin Ayling*

    2. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wildcarded something similar last night and I own Son!
      Slighty regretting it - you do need another midfielder in there

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba > KDB/Sterling. ASM > Podence/one of the Leeds mids.

  13. tiger

  17. jimmy6363
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    J. Rodriguez or Zaha given the fixture run and 0.5m diff?

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard cancelled.

    No Lamptey, no party.

  19. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lamptey bandwagon derailed. Awful pick

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lower ownership for when I get him in a few weeks 🙂

  20. Brosstan

  22. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Damn! All that brutality on Tariq and he doesn't make 60m 🙁

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Still my highest-scoring defender this week.

  23. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    Potter you gimp

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn't play FPL

  24. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lamprey robbed of a clean sheet

  25. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lamptey injured and subbed?

  26. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I’ve got 2ft, 1.0 ITB and willing to take a hit. Defo doing Aubameyang to KDB

    Who should I prioritise out of: Vinagre, Doherty, Pereira, Adams, and McCarthy?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Prioritise attackers - higher ceiling. Adams #1 imo

  27. thepancakeman123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) McCarthy + Arnold + Saiss
    B) Patricio + Robertson + KWP

  28. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rotten luck for current owners.

  29. KGFC
