Saint-Maximin and Barnes return as Newcastle host Burnley

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.

    Whenever you think you’ve got a good gameweek in the works, ASM goes and scores after I sold him for Klich last night.

      Also, Salah wouldn't be 2 feet from VVD if he had COVID...

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Not saying it’s true but could quite easily have had the result come through after morning training

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        How often are they tested?

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why on earth would he know ahead of everyone else

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And how the heck does he have nearly 22k followers! :I

    Chances of Podence missing out? ASM first bench.

    Wilson is becoming hard to ignore at his price

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Took him out this week for DCL. Happy either way as it’s a long term move

  17. OverTinker

    What would be Cavani's price?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Don't get him.

    2. Clintymints

      9? 9.5?

    3. Zilla
      • 6 Years

    This guy confired Thiago & Mane were tested positive before Pool confirmed.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How would he find out so soon?

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Black magic

      2. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't know that but if he's saying Salah is not confirmed positive yet I'll take his word for that.

      No reason to sell Wilson anytime soon right? A hard fixture next week but he seems to be ticking away nicely with returns..

      A straight swap to Antonio in GW8 is what I'm looking at

      1. Bank$y
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Season keeper.

    3. Bank$y
      • 5 Years

      Jamal Lewis looking very good.

    4. Pedram

      Burnley look shockingly bad

    7. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Rough with the smooth - wild card edition:

      Got in DCL and Trossard. Got rid of ASM and Hamez.

      Will see in a few weeks how it turns out. Can’t judge by this week alone.

      1. KGFC
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        More rough than smooth but hopefully will work out for the better over the next few weeks

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Seemed like good moves imo

        1. sminkypinky
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Seemed like it. Still feel that way. Meh... who knows? Tough season.

    8. TheDragon

      This gameweek sums up my FPL life for the last 2 seasons.

      Every player I own scores 2 points. Every player I don’t own who was a possible option gets a haul.

      ASM I must have owned for 10 weeks total has never scored me more than 2 points. Did him -> Podence for a -4 a week ago.

      It’s like the most extreme possible level of variance that there can be but every week.

      It should be impossible but here we are

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It will even itself out over the season and the points will come.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No it won't, when it's going badly for you it continues, I can vouch for that!

        2. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It doesn’t though - I know that logically it should but it doesn’t.

          This happened to me literally the whole of last season and this season the same

          I’ve got Aa lot of good ranks historically so I know I’m playing reasonably but every week - every possible option I’ve considered / is as alternative hauls and every one I own blanks

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Sod’s law. There’s no other explanation

          2. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            It's been 4 GWs

            1. TheDragon
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              And the whole of last season

              My strikers have scored 0 goals THIS SEASON

    9. shearer9

      Is Werner likely to drop in price tonight?

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Very

      2. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not dropping tonight according to fpl stats !

    10. L S P
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My whole season wrapped up in one day:

      - Wise move of armband from KDB->Salah at last minute.

      -ASM->Barnes for -4, ASM scores

      -Salah might be COVID+

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Salah too? damn

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He will play and score a hattrick

        Barnes will get sent off for Leicester

        1. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          That's when it evens itself this time 😉

        2. The Ejiptian King

          lol

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I swear if he plays and scores tomorrow I’m going to ring Jose’s neck

      3. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bloody hell. He's starting isn't he.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It’s such rubbish, I need him to drop to buy him back as well.
          Very annoyed if he takes part

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He will 100% start and Jose should be sacked

          2. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He won't drop now sadly

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Really? How do you know?

              1. Zimo
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                If he plays then the red arrows become green arrows and he won't drop tonight. He was at -58 12 hours ago with 3 red arrows.

                1. Big boy Bowen
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Say he doesn’t play tomorrow though?

              2. Zimo
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                I was hoping for a drop too

            2. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Showing as -62.6 and three red arrows on fplstats, fingers crossed.

              1. Forza

                • 9 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                He'll probably drop if he gets 1-3 points. Casuals will see that and won't give much consideration to the fact that he's back.

      4. villa_til_i_die

        This would finish me off, Jorginho first on bench. You couldn’t make this stuff up!!

      5. Garlana

        I need son to play, kept him and currently have Mitchell off the bench
