Arsenal head to Newcastle United on bank holiday Sunday in the sixth match of Gameweek 35.

Both teams enjoyed 3-1 wins in their most recent games, beating Chelsea and Southampton respectively.

Eddie Howe makes just one change to his Newcastle starting XI, with Callum Wilson coming in for Anthony Gordon, who drops to the bench.

That means Wilson and Alexander Isak start together for the first time in the Premier League, an intriguing development with Double Gameweek 36 on the horizon.

As for Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes is fit to start despite taking a knock in midweek, with Mikel Arteta’s only alteration seeing Gabriel Martinelli replace Leandro Trossard.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Willock, Murphy, Isak, Wilson

Subs: Dubravka, Dummett, Gordon, Saint-Maximin, Lewis, Targett, Manquillo, Almiron, Anderson

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Holding, Trossard, Vieira, Nelson

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly my question, Odegaard for me atm

    5. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Odergaard but it is a lot of guesswork.

    6. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      2. obviously because he's been the one returning in recent weeks and therefore is clearly in form and the better option.

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Leaning 2, less rotation risk

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

    Isak survives

  3. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So Wilson had no shots...

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He had black and white ones

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Operation Isak & Wilson won't be back for Leeds!

  5. turd ferguson
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Trippier dog poo

  6. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Willock and Willson off

  7. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Martinelli rested. Partey started

  8. Sure You Did
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Schar just getting in the scoring mood for when I move him from my bench need him next GW.

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Wilsoff

  10. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I miss having Arsenal attackers. Debating moving a Brighton mid or two on for them

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      GW38

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Likewise but Mahrez potentially

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Miss them? Where’d they go for so long?

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

    So, Isak Wilson double still on here?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson will start next one,Isak benched.

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Based on today’s showing I’d be surprised if he benched Isak. Might end up on the left again but Newcastle are definitely stronger with him in the side.

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson is a predator. Some easier pickings coming

  12. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Strange subs, Saka has been invisible in comparison to Odegaard and Marti

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Actually to be fair, they both looked knackered

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Saka vs Burn might have swayed thinking.

      More defensive work needed vs Trippier.

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Arteta is very set with his subs.They are common ones

  13. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Well done Martinelli. Will take the points!

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mr. Anderson

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

    This game has put me off getting Wilson I think

  16. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Given todays game, best to add
    1.wilson
    2.isak

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        How did you come to this conclusion?

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        You do talk some rubbish at times

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      2

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

      Isak looks much better

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      2 imo.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Neither

      Newcastle in free fall

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Just lol

  17. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone still keen on Wilson/Isak double up in GW36?

  18. Always a Red Devil
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    nearly time for the proper football come on utd lol

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not seen the starting XI yet? Malacia, Antony & Weghorst. What could possibly go wrong? If Weghorst scores and we win I’m going to offer to clean the house and cook for a year. I’m that confident

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        we need a big transfer window some of the players are simply not utd players

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed re Martial etc but what worries me is some are players be bought in. Antony is nowhere near the level we need. Malacia is a squad filler at best. I hope I’m wrong but looking at the XI’s, I just can’t see us coming away with 3 points tonight

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Newcastle United lost at home to Manchester City, Liverpool and likely Arsenal this season.

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Point being?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Best season in a long time bar against the v best teams.

  20. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    The last time I listen to so called Twitter experts to play Trippier over Shaw. Fuming

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Stood by my guns this time and benched the waster, Trippier offers nothing now

  21. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Refs need to start booking divers

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rashford be banned every other week...

      1. Maddamotha
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Rashford?! Lol

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't they always say 'this season' they will but never actually do

  22. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Just remembered I sold Gabriel for Akanji for a hit

    1. DLLM
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sold white for dalot here..

  23. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Dalot benched. But I have Zinchenko first sub. Any chance of some bench jam?

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

      Dalot will (sadly for you) most likely come on for Malacia or AWB.

    2. Always a Red Devil
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      nope im united fan dalot will come on

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yep. Looking forward to my 1 point! FML

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      he will come in at some point

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nah cameo for you

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Malacia YC might mean Dalot comes on

  24. snow pea in repose
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    FPL assist rules need to be revisited. An opposing player deflecting in a shot should not be an assist under any circumstances

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Rubbish. Perfect rule for FPL.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It absolutely should he a fantasy assist!

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Why not?

    4. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's a cross for someone to score. If the opponent puts it in, it's still an assist

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He created the goal

    6. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He literally assisted the goal...

    7. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nothing wrong with this.

    8. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Assist by definition is helping a teammate score. I think that should be the FPL definition as well

  25. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Almiron almost killed Ramsdale there.

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

    Why are 5 subs still around? Ruines the games imo

    1. Always a Red Devil
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      its not really any different from before theyre still only allowed 3 breaks to bring the 5 on (correct me if im wrong)

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

        The is news to me tbh. Still hate it though.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It does play to the bigger sides, but then they have additional games.

      Difficult one, but I would prefer 3 from 7 then 5 from 9.

      All academic though.Eventually it will be unlimited size benches and rolling subs.

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Playing 3 games a week regularly is too much of a strain on players

      Do we want lots of good quality games or to stick to outdated rules?

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        But changing 4 of the 5 subs in the last 10 minutes when you are 2-1 up isn't really about resting players.

    4. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I would like 11 subs and you can bring players back on after subbing them off. And games should be 5 hours long

  27. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Goodbye Saka, sold and never to return

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Switching Marti to Saka on WC my standout worst decision of the season

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it’s been a shocking season man, can’t wait for it to end

  28. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    After Trent, my second highest scorer this GW is Olise with 3.

    I tend to have the same team as those on the FPL podcast but who oddly score 20pts more than me most weeks.

    I am sure they will have all got 70+ pts with 9 of my 11.

    1. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Olise scored 2 for me 🙁

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Oh s**t, he did.

        Oh well, second highest scorer of 2.

  29. jack88
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Plz dalot Don't come to the field..white is my first sub

  30. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Late decision to play Watkins over Martinelli went well.
