Undefeated since Gameweek 5, Newcastle United can go eight points clear of fifth place with a win at Selhurst Park tonight.

Crystal Palace’s clash with the Magpies kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

Eddie Howe’s side are unchanged from last Sunday, which means that Bruno Guimaraes has made a remarkable recovery from an ankle injury that threatened to keep him out for weeks.

Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin, who would have been tussling to replace Guimaraes had he been ruled out, have to be content with a spot on the bench again.

Despite picking up a point against Manchester United, Patrick Vieira has made four changes to his line-up.

Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jordan Ayew are brought back into the side as Michael Olise, Nathaniel Clyne, Will Hughes and Jean-Philippe Mateta make way.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Richards, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Schlupp, Eze, Edouard, Zaha, Ayew.

Subs: Johnstone, Milivojevic, Olise, Mateta, Clyne, Hughes, Riedewald, Wells-Morrison, Ozoh.

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, S Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock, Almiron, Joelinton, Wilson.

Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Saint-Maximin, Ritchie, Lewis, Isak, Manquillo, Murphy, Anderson.

    Almiron off. Project bench fodder worked.

    Almiron subbed and out of my team. It was a good ride, my friend. We will meet again.

      I'd already booked in Almiron->Saka

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Great to see Almiron's luck end while many jumped on!

    Trippier 3baps hooold. Points for everyone!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Niceness

      Trippier and Haaland means we're playing with 9 players each week.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Rashford.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Rashford's ownership is 46% so not quite. Haaland 85%, Trippier 68%

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Not for me this GW. Kane C

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          KDB cap say hi

      3. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Not Haaland as long as people cap others.

  5. Make United Great Again

    Goodbye Almiron

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Gone for Ødegaard before the GW

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Do Newcastle players only get cramp when winning or how does that work for them?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Those are the instructions

    2. putana
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      they also remember how to take throw-ins

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I saw an image the other day of what team's games have has the ball in play the most. Newcastle were second bottom

  7. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    I think it has more to do with Newcastle not scoring fluently anymore, rather than Almiron alone not producing .

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Or he's the same player he's been for years and was getting incredibly lucky putting the ball top corner every other week?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Can tell you haven't been watching the game nor recent Newcastle games.

        Wilson has been very out of form up top and it hasn't helped.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Appears to have lost a bit of pace

      2. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Ofcourse there is luck. Mahrez was lucky as well.
        But its easier to get lucky when you are 2-0 ahead and your team is getting much more space to run into.
        Its not Almiron alone thats not delivering for newcastle, thats all im saying.

  8. putana
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Almiroff. Transfer to mitoma didnt backfire

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Nice flex

  9. banskt
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    According to LiveFPL, my rank improves 4 places for every point of Trippier. Enough reason to cheer for that extra bonus point.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Are you rank 5mill+?

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I am hovering around 10k.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Not sure how Trippier affects your rank then

          1. banskt
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            Oh, it does improve by 4 places. 8 points mean 32 places up.

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 12 months ago

              Good news tbh

              1. banskt
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 12 months ago

                Every place is important! What surprises me is that there are active managers without Trippier to get ahead of.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      And it'll drop a lot more due to his teammates.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I have one of his team mates. Every Botman point improves my rank by 600 places!

        1. jacob1989
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          whats the stats for schar? I got him

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I think mine goes backwards because of captaincy.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Scary!

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Guaita has made 7 saves and Trippier has a yc yet Trip is still on for 3 bonus. May end up using my TC on him when he doubles

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      54pts in the bag

  11. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Trippier still edging it for 3pts bonus despite YC and Guaita 7 saves

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Triplier

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Newcastle missing wood

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Wood belongs in Forest

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      No penetration recently!

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      The exact same issue my wife has been complaining about, especially with the timings of all these matches in my part of the world!

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Keeping the sheets clean

    5. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Who doesn't like a bit of wood?

  13. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Good to see Ozoh make his debut, great player.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yep.

      Hope the Saudi's enjoyed their Jerk Chicken at half time

  14. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Almiron to Rodrigo?

  15. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Why do people on here even bother discussing the likes of Trippier, Haaland, Almiron, etc when the world and his wife have them?

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      “Ooh Trippier has 3 bonus now” … so?

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Never has Almiron.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Bloke’s the 6th highest selected player in the game.

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I know. But somehow I never was able to get him in my team. Always had other issues to handle.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Same here. I have zaha though...

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Because it's still nice to get points

    4. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      The first two yes, not the third

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Well I captained Trippier 😉

    6. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      not everyone has almiron.

    7. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Agree on Tripper. Almiron on the other and most have sold.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        6th most selected

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Suprising. But most active managers have cashed in and moved on aftwr his form dip.

    8. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      It enrages me also. I just booted the coffee table upon reading one such message.

    9. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I have 5 Trippier’s

    10. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Almiron 41% TSB is the whole world?

    11. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      If you're not interested, move along. Relax.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Ironic comment

    12. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I benched Almiron.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Jealous

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Same. Seemed the smart option. Decided after discussing on here.

    13. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Also I have found the odd Trippier captaincy

  16. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Gw22 Almiron to Rodrigo
    Gw 23 Rodrigo to Ödegaard

    More ppl on the same boat?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Too much switcherooing. I'd just get odegaard

    2. EL tridente
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I’m planning to do the same

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Mate is on 43 with seven players to go 😆

    Martinez (10)
    Estupiñán (9)
    Trippier (8)
    Schar (8)
    Mitoma (10)

    Fair play :mrgreen: Warning that he's brought in Weghorst... you know the score!

  18. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Why do I have only 1 defender from a team that just don't concede

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Possibly incompetence. I don't know you enough to confirm.

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I am potato at this game

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          I like potatoes. Very versatile.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Because we are stupid. I have Cancelo and Patterson,

  19. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    why are GW & OR Rankings not updated?

  20. dshv
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Kdb and Almiron -> Rodrigo Bruno 2FT ???

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yaaay but too early for this

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Would Bruno eriksen and rashford be too much for dgw?

  21. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Why is MacAllister suspended?

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      World Cup winners should be exempt from suspensions

  22. putana
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Newcastle with 9 draws in 20 games

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      only loss from that late liverpool winner

  23. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Thoughts on Almiron -> Eriksen lol

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I like it. On set pieces, double to come. Just the potential blank in 25 to consider.

  24. You Must Be Jokin Ere
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    After tonight, Tripper will have 24 Bonus Points from last 10 games. Remarkable.

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I should have saved TC whenever Newcastle have a dgw

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      That must be a record.

      1. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Even TAA at his peak was no where near that as Pool had forwards who would gobble up the points.

  25. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Early days but how does Mitro + Almiron to Bruno + Gnonto with 2 fts sound?

  26. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Too early for transfers?

    Want to get rid of Ward to Raya & swap KDB to Bruno.

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Trippier the legend!

  28. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Trippier 3 bonus makes up for the Ward 1 pointer

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Hardly. Everyone owns him

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Don't play the ownership game

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          What ownership game? Everyone owns him, so he is irrelevant.

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            I set all my players a target of 5 points per game, irrelevant of who they are. Ward only got 1, so Trippiers 8 gets me back up to that 5 point per player average. Sometimes we are guilty of overcomplicating things.

          2. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            But what if he didn’t? Then it’s bad news isn’t it?
            So obviously it’s good if you do have

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          This is rubbish. You can't make any forward progress owning Trippier unless possibly captaining. Like he said anyone with meaningful rank owns him so no gain whatsoever.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            No but if you didn’t have you could drop rank?

        3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          . Doesn't matter whether you play it or not you may as well have not got any Trippier points. Unless you play this game for reasons no one else will understand

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Did you captain him? If not, it doesn't make up for it

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Seems the fishing rod is working.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Amazing work

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Read his ‘target’ post. He’s not fishing, just deluded.

      3. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        He's too dim for that.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Hey, I have a masters degree in data science I'll have you know.

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            Anything in common logic ?

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 12 months ago

              Strangely enough, I used to have a neighbor who was a Professor of Logic down at the University of Science.

          2. Mr. O'Connell
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            Can't argue with the deluded comment, though.
