Wilson returns for Newcastle as Schlupp starts in advance role

Callum Wilson (£6.5m) is back in the Newcastle team after recovering from the hamstring injury sustained before the international break.

He slots straight back into the side alongside Joelinton (£5.7m) in the two-man partnership of a 4-4-2 formation.

Steve Bruce is, of course, short of Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.3m), leaving Miguel Almirón (£ and Jeff Hendrick (£4.8m) to provide the width from midfield.

While Newcastle have struggled to offer much going forward in their last two matches, they may fancy their chances against a Crystal Palace side that has just one clean sheet in their last 17 Premier League outings.

However, Roy Hodgson has mitigated against that, recalling Gary Cahill (£4.5m) to join Scott Dann (£4.4m) at centre-back.

Cheikhou Kouyaté (£5.0m) has not lost his place though, moving back into central midfield and displacing Jairo Riedewald (£4.4m) to the bench.

Of particular note is the fact that FPL midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.4m) looks to be the replacement for Wilfried Zaha (£7.3m), who misses out due to self-isolation for coronavirus (COVID-19).

The former Leicester man has been named alongside Jordan Ayew (£5.7m) in a front-two, while Eberechi Eze (£5.8m) and Andros Townsend (£5.9m) are tasked with the left and right flanks respectively.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Cahill, Clyne; Eze, McArthur, Kouyaté, Townsend; Schlupp, Ayew.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow; Lewis, Clark, Fernández, Manquillo; Almirón, S Longstaff, Shelvey, Hendrick; Wilson, Joelinton.

    Palace are absolute dogshyte.

    They've bottled CSs on at least 3 occasions, in the last few minutes.

    Absolutely useless 😆

        Bigger fish to fry and to who? No idea what keeper to go with. No one seems to scream stick until GW 20s when I next use a wildcard possibly

      As long as they are putting more effort and emotion into it than you, that’s fine though right?

  25. Sun Jihai

    Wilson must be the most underowned high scoring player in the game
    Now on 64, 3rd highest scoring forward
    Ahead of Vardy (assuming a 2 pointer for him this GW!)
