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.

    Everton home matches left to play in 2020:

    -LIV(H)

    -MUN(H)

    -LEE(H)

    -CHE(H)

    -ARS(H)

    -MCI(H)

    They seem very strong at home ground with 9 goals in 2 games and especially James looks special at home but this schedule is probably gonna affect their performances

    Werner + Mitro -> Martial + Maupay?

        3 years, 6 months ago

        Essenetial is French for "essential" tough guy. Brush up on your knowledge before confronting strangers on the internet :p

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          and beleive is french for ''believe'' ?

      Maxi is maybe the biggest bargain in the game, After DCL.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        After Bissssouu

    ASM monster haul coming in

  8. Chucky

    Tayklor you waste of space.grab a goal asap

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

    I suck at this game

  10. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Did Son & Wilson to Barnes & DCL (-4)....

    Got a horrible feeling it’s not going to pay off

  11. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sold Wilson for DCL, stupid decision?

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

      yes

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How?

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Did the same, I think it’s a great long term move and given how fast DCL is rising it had to be done.
      So this week marginally not good but long term definitely

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      But don’t beat yourself up over it, last home game Newcastle got battered 3-0 by Brighton so you could never foresee him scoring really

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Frustrating how much luck is involved in this game!

    4. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t lose sight of the fact that you saved 0.2m by doing that move. It’s a solid move that should pay dividends later on

  12. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else got Son starting with ASM the beast as first sub? Praying for no Jose mind games!

  13. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I was mad I didn't transfer ASM to hamez earlier (played with the thought all week). Now I am kinda okay with it

  14. riot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Don't want to exaggerate but ASM is the best player in the world

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Had both ASM and Wilson last week. Now just Wilson.

  16. SH1M1
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Podence better score a hat trick tomorrow lol

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, took asm out for him last week as many did, podence no show, now asm with goal an assist!

  17. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    ASM doing what no doubt Werner will now do to sellers next week, just to truly rub salt in the wounds.

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

      Exactly the same kind of comment.

  18. lilmessipran

    Burnley and Newcastle playing a fairly entertaining & high scoring game, 2020 can't get any weirder

  19. panda07

    You to me are everything my Allan Saint Maximin oh bay, hey baby!

    ASM makes a comeback into template

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He sure does, Arise ASM!

  21. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Wilson and DCL owner, but KDB (c) aswell, and no Rodriguez 🙁

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Similar!

  22. Differentiator

    Howay Maxi Man!

  24. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    People who picked ASM for GW1 and then became incapacitated for 3 weeks are laughing

  25. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    I don’t own any Everton, STILL.

    Fixtures aren’t great, LIV next. Is DCL or JRod essential?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same here and I think it’s time we jumped on that train.

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Given how results are going I don’t think it matters who they are playing. Just got some Everton coverage in.

  26. Nightcrawler

    Ughh sold wilson for ings

  27. Hazz

    Absolutely dreadful start to the season.

    Please Salah, don't have COVID 😆

  28. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thought on this WC-team?

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Lamptey Dallas Dunne Mitchell
    Salah KDB Bruno JRod Alzate
    Jimenez DCL Brewster

    0 ITB

  29. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Damn it!!

    I’m happy with sterling (c) but it was a coin toss:
    A) rashford to Barnes
    B) Werner to Wilson

    Like every other 50:50 it’s gone wrong

  30. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Brewster starts GW5 against Fulham?

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

      You don’t pick Brewster for his points. You pick him to bench him if you want to invest in midfield big hitters. If he gets bench lints it’s a bonus
