Six down, one to go: the final Premier League match of the day sees fourth-place Newcastle United play host to fourth-bottom West Ham United.

Kick-off at St James’ Park is at 17:30 GMT.

Eddie Howe tends not to make too many changes to his high-flying Newcastle side but he’s forced into one this evening, with Bruno Guimaraes suspended.

Allan Saint-Maximin is the man chosen to replace him: the Frenchman makes his first Premier League start in just over five months.

New signing Anthony Gordon is among the substitutes but Alexander Isak is absent after being concussed in the midweek cup tie against Southampton.

Miguel Almiron, the most-sold Fantasy Premier League (FPL) midfielder of Gameweek 22, starts again.

West Ham also only make one change from their last Premier League XI, and it too is an enforced one: Thilo Kehrer is in for the injured Kurt Zouma at centre-half.

New signing Danny Ings makes the bench after recovering from injury.

GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Saint-Maximin, Willock, Almiron, Wilson, Joelinton.

Subs: Gordon, Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Ritchie, Lewis, Fraser, Murphy, Anderson.

West Ham United XI: West Ham: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Coufal, Lucas Paqueta, Rice, Emerson Palmieri, Bowen, Benrahma, Antonio.

Subs: Johnson, Cresswell, Fornals, Lanzini, Downes, Ings, Soucek, Hegyi, Anang.

      1. Stranger Mings

        Thanks both agreed

  3. DannyDrinkVodka

    I've got Martinelli Cancelo and Doherty..............my other Arsenal asset is White and my City assets are Haaland and KDB.....is this Wildcard time?

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes
      Hit it hard

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Defo

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why did you not remove one of Cancelo/Doherty pre deadline? Got to be shifting these players as quick as you can.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If you had Trippier/White/Shaw selling them for other defenders wasn't really a priority move given the fixtures.

        I've got Cancelo and planned to either sell in GW23 for a hit, or in GW24. The defensive transfers aren't awesome atm given the GW25 blank.

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Owners of Pope and Kepa, what is your plan regarding who to start each week? Thinking of playing Pope every game and hoping Kepa stops with the 10 point hauls.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Rather Kepa and two NEW defenders

      1. Mid budget coach
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Defenders don't have save points when they concede. Id get James,Pope and Trippier

  14. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    what a horror GW. No CS for double NEW & ManU. ARS triple blank.
    Only C Rashford performs but its of no use

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

      Still got pts with that Shaw assist

      1. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        yeah thats about it. But again most have him

  15. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lovely!

  16. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Should have started Bueno over Trippier, obvious choice really.

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bueno didn’t play

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Oh yeah he didn't, meh was being sarcastic anyways.

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bueno didn't play

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Absolutely. If I was you I would delete my FPL team.

    4. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’m which case you just end up with Trippier anyway.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Ake actually, Bueno last. But again sarcasm. Trippier points are almost useless rankwise.

    5. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I forgot to put Nketiah in for Cucurela after transfers at 6.15.pm

      Was thinking of my fish n chips.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I wonder who will play both Forest and Bournemouth away too?

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Reply fail.

  17. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Yes !!! wipe those double Newcastle cleanies. Simply lovely.

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Trippier owner here 🙁

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol how do you still own him?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Time to sell I'm afraid.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Unlucky . There can only be around 10 million others

  19. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trips was trying to rugby tackle him there too

  20. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Newcastle double defence dream finally over

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Yes!

  22. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Which move to prioritized for DGW23?

    A) Almiron to Odegaard
    B) Bruno to KDB
    C) Mitro to Nketiah

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks J!

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

      Why not Mahrez instead of KDB

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Is Mahrez nailed now?

        1. jacob1989
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          as nailed as he has been under pep

          1. Bruno Commando
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Awesome, I think I will go Almiron to Mahrez then! That will give me the below team.

            Kepa
            Shaw Trippier Gabriel Ake
            Bruno Rashy Mahrez Martinelli
            Haaland Kane

            Ward Mitro Andreas Bueno

    3. Lionac
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno & Almiron -> Ode & Mahrez (-4) might be the way to go here

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks! You think Bruno -> Ode for a -4 is worth it? I am quite firm about selling Almiron and I can get Mahrez directly.

  23. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    No reason to watch rest of the game now

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      i just switched of my TV

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

    Trippier will still get 3 bonus pts somehow

  25. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is this the game where Schar finally gets his goal?

    1. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Great minds...

    2. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      already missed a big chance

  26. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Scharly Schar is due a goal at this Schtage....

  27. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Should I WC following team, want to get rid of 6 players*!
    Kepa/ward
    Shaw,/bot/trip/cancelo* white*
    Rash/bruno*/almiron*martinelli*andreas*
    Kane/haaland/nketia

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'd keep White, Bruno has several good matches coming up

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ditch Cancelo and team is fine imo.

  28. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Paqueta rice to blame for that

  29. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If KDB looks lethargic and Mahrez energetic tomorrow ...

    Would you do this: Mitro (NFO) KDB (AVL, ars) > Kane (lei) Mahrez (AVL, ars)?

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      too sideways. Surely more important transfers to do

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nothing to do apart from removing Patterson for GW25, but probably yeah too sideways ...

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It would mean that Mrs KDB has been demanding and Mrs Mahrez hasn't .

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Love to be KDB 😛

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Win win !

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Do you think Mahrez starts both in the double?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure, that's why asking for opinion

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I have no idea. Mahrez is appealing as i could do Martinelli to Saka for a -4, otherwise, it is KDB and Odegard for a -4 next week

        2. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          It’s a tough one mate, tempted by Mahrez over KDB myself, but for the assurance of starts edging towards KDB, so to answer your question I wouldn’t do the moves

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I wonder who will play both Forest and Bournemouth away too once CL restarts.

          2. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Ta, Kane (lei) is the temptation but I get it yeah ...

          3. Haalander
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Surely Mahrez starts against Arsenal at least and I’d be willing to punt on Mahrez even for the last 20 mins vs villa based on today. I was tempted by Bruno to KDB now I think I’ll opt for Mahrez.

  30. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years

    Newcastle have been careless with the ball since the 2nd goal against Southampton

    1. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pressure getting to them
