Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway this evening as Newcastle United host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James’ Park.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Eddie Howe makes two changes to the side that lost 5-1 at Tottenham Hotspur last time out, with Emil Krafth and Bruno Guimaraes replacing Javier Manquillo and Joe Willock, who has failed to recover from an ongoing knee issue.

Chris Wood leads the line as expected and is flanked by Ryan Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin in the Magpies’ 4-3-3 formation.

Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson remain on the injury list.

As for the visitors, they also make two changes.

The first arrives in the engine room, with youngster Lee Cundle coming in for Leander Dendoncker (illness), while Hwang Hee-chan slots in further forward in place of Daniel Podence, who misses out with a foot injury.

That means Fabio Silva continues up front, with Raul Jimenez serving the second of a two-match ban.

Ki-Jana Hoever and Ruben Neves remain long-term absentees.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett, Shelvey, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Fraser, Saint-Maximin, Wood

    Should have gone all in and played Dubravka along with wood and schar but can't complain. Great start to the week!

  2. Scapegoat Salah

    FT?

    Scar booking takes him from 2 bonus to 0. -3 yellow card

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Shart

      • Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cost him 3 points, yeah. Gutting, TBH.

      • Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3 years, 9 months ago

        Might be an adjustment to the bonus tbh: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/56371/event/32

      • Ode
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Still don’t understand why players lose so many bps for yellow cards

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          It's not that many, in all honesty.

    2. Gizzachance

      Schar on bench!
      Same as last week with his goal

      Perfect start to the Gameweek.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t forget to tell people online about your start to this game week

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      2x CS, I'll take it!

      3 - Wood (34)
      2 - Burn (27)
      1 - Dubravka (25)

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nice, I went Pope over Dubravka in the end. Let's hope he cleans as well

    6. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sa - 3
      Schar - 5

      Can't be too upset with that.
      0-0 was a bridge too far I guess.

    7. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Well I guess I'm well covered if the likes of James and Martinelli don't play this week with Burn 2nd on my bench 🙁

    8. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The FPL torment starting already. The only frikkin booking of the game just had to be Schar didnt it which has meant 5pts instead of 8pts.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, was a -3 point YC in the end!

      2. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ye gutted, I wouldnt gone top of my mini league with that for at least 24hours

    9. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Benching Saiss and selling Jimmy for Wood this week has turned out well. Thoughts of now throwing Wood the armband next week?

    10. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Huge huge wood haul

      Owners in a state of utter delirium

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        9 points is a huge haul for a forward nowadays tbh

    11. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Should have played Dubravka.

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ditto. Everyone said so. Got Sa save point as consolation

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not much between Dubravka and Ramsdale. Hindsight is so easy. Yet, I have to admit that I didn't even bother to check CS odds between them.

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

      That YC Schärted some key points

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Total eclipse of the shart

    13. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Tempted by Rudiger/Coutinho to Castagne/Foden next week

    14. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno Guimares is absolutely unreal. Quality player.

      17pts from 3
      Dubravka
      Big Dan Burn
      ASM

      Already half my points from last week 😆

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nice. HWTL

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Can't wait to see Bruno playing with a more mobile striker in front of him. Having said that, I thought Wood put in a real shift tonight.

    15. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      6 point from Targett, not bad. Now wait to see if Robertson on my bench outscore him.

    16. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dubravka's overall ownership is only 2,6%!

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You’d think it’s 80% if you just came on here

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Spud, this is fantasy football scout. This is what is done. If you don't like it don't come on here just after a match

          1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Steve supports spurs so he’s always going to be a bit of a testy

              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              *be a bit testy

    17. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wolves fall away to mid table mediocrity almost complete

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        What an awful performance.Hands down.

    18. Devos
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Surely Trent, Cancelo or Robertson will need a rest. Surely Burn and his 8 points will take their place.

      Right?

      1. El Platano
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Wrong

        1. Devos
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Deep down inside, I know...

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah can see Tsimikas, Gomez and Zinchenko coming in for this pointless game this weekend 😉

    19. HD7
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What happened with Fraser?

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Injured

      2. just a man

        Looked like hammy

      Evening all!! Early thoughts… best way to shave off 0.1 to do Raphinha to Maddison next week??!!…..

      A- Sa to Ramsdale
      Or
      B- Pickford to Schmeichel

      Cheers everyone!!!

      1. ILOVEBAPS

    21. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      How do Wolves fans watch that each week?

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Absolute dross. Totally negative team. 4 men on ASM at all times

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Disgusting team, cowardly football. Wiped the smile off Coady as well. Not the cheeky chappy character now is he?

        2. Warby84
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Both teams were dross

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        & Newcastle fans

    22. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Playing Coady seemed like the right thing to do.

      Oh well.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        On my bench, undoubtedly coming on for Alonso who Tuchel seems to hate.

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Laca(C) 😉

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Good luck with it. Hope he does well and we get the win tomorrow. Though he’s one of the worst strikers in the league right now.

            1. PartyTime
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah. Thought you would captain Saka. You sneaky sneaky manager.

              How dare you trust Spurs over Arsenal. 😆

              Here’s hoping for a Laca hat trick!

              1. Qaiss
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                That’ll likely be next week when I captain him 😉

            2. PartyTime
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Thanks

    23. Jones Kusi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have people already used their FH for 33 or do you hold and wait?

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        As already have 7 dgw players in 33, holding mine till 37 - Bench boost in 36 when I may have nearly 15 dgw players by then.

      2. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I had 2 left, already activated for 33 now.
        Wc 34/35 bb 36 and fh in 37 is the plan.

    24. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      When the amount of bps deducted for a booking is the same as the amount awarded for the game-winning goal, something's wrong with the system.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Same as missing a big chance tbh, it's not too extreme

        It's the +15bps for saving a penalty that I find silly - if your keeper saves a penalty you basically get 5 points and very likely 3 bonus so it's a 8 pointer. About 18% of penalties are saved roughly so I'd like my keeper to face plenty of penalties!

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Agreed on penalty saves, but unlike big chances missed, some yellow cards are actually beneficial for the team. Every big chance missed has a net negative impact, but a tactical foul to stop a counter-attack is often a good decision.

          Also, players don't get the -1 point outside the bps system for a big chance missed. For yellows, they effectively get punished twice.

          1. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Good point actually
            I guess bps might be reworked next season as I think I read Opta are discontinuing the 'big chances' anyway

    25. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sold Wood for Toney in GW30. Cost me massively

    26. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rudiger/Coutinho to Schar/Sancho -4

      I have R.James

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Sounds quite nice

    27. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wood looks nice as weghorst replacement if he's dropped as suggested......

      2 home games in 33 and then Norwich.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Can’t believe what a troll Weghorst is, hauled when like nobody had him and blanked everytime loads have had him!

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Been a disaster.....transferred him in twice....captained him once....got nothing!!

          Still hoping he starts this weekend!

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I got him in for the first double, think I capped someone else though

      2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        But it’s Chris Wood

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Slim pickings tho unless you have much cash....

          Mateta, watford, iheanacho....

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Iheanacho could be a great differential

            1. Flynny
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah. I have 2 fts.....coutinho to maddison pencilled in for the 2nd one.

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Sounds good

            2. Firminooooo
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I did Nacho to Weghorst last GW….for a hit.

      3. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        How suggested is it he’s dropped?! Speculation or genuine reports?!

    28. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fh 1st draft done.

      Dubravka
      Schar- Doherty- Taylor
      Saka - kdb - Bruno- Sancho
      Kane - Ronaldo - ASM

      Dbl newcastle defence a little iffy, but risking it on utd turning up against Norwich. Need something drastic to get up the ranks!
