Saint-Maximin and Barnes return as Newcastle host Burnley

1,159 Comments

St James’ Park will play host to a number of returning mid-priced assets on Saturday evening.

After missing the trip to Spurs with an ankle problem, Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) is back in the Newcastle side for Gameweek 4.

He sits on the flanks of midfield as Steve Bruce looks to match Burnley’s formation with a 4-4-2 of his own.

The only Newcastle asset coming into this weekend with more Fantasy support is Callum Wilson (£6.4m), who still has the backing of 10% of managers.

The former Bournemouth man is Newcastle’s top scorer thus far, having netted twice, once from the penalty spot.

Sean Dyche is probably the more relieved of the two managers at Newcastle tonight as he welcomes back both James Tarkowski (£5.4m) and Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) to his starting line-up.

The centre-back pushes Jimmy Dunne (£4.0m) to the bench, as he features alongside Kevin Long (£4.5m), while Chris Wood (£6.5m) and Barnes are paired up-front for the first time this season.

Newcastle United XI (4-4-2): Darlow; Lewis, Schär, Fernández, Krafth; Hendrick, Shelvey, Hayden, Saint-Maximin; C Wilson, Joelinton.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Tarkowski, K Long, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, D Stephens, Brownhill; A Barnes, Wood.

    "Is KDB a must-have for wildcarders?" was the article headline two weeks ago 😆

      Yeah... Embarrassing stuff from Pep tbh. Why are you not using your most creative player as forward as possible.

      Sterling 😉

      Went for him then and still looks the better option.

      You say ‘the nightmare goes on’ when you own a player who scored 18 points today. More than most people have in total points today.

      You have to laugh at the drama queens on here.

      With 2 FTs I'd probably just sort out Werner and Davies to start with and ditch Saiss a week later if he looks like getting dropped. I can see why you hate some of them but in reality the team is in decent shape to get points going forward.
