The Premier League action gets underway at Elland Road at 12:30 BST, a match that features one of just two teams to play twice in Gameweek 36.

Newcastle United’s ‘double’ begins with a visit to Leeds United, with a home game against Brighton & Hove Albion to follow on Thursday.

Virtually all of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in the lunchtime kick-off is on the Magpies, then, and the team news is broadly positive for the key Fantasy assets on show.

Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak start together for the second match running, the former presumably set to lead the line again and the latter stationed on the left flank.

Eddie Howe has made only one change from the team beaten 2-0 by Arsenal last Sunday, with Miguel Almiron replacing Jacob Murphy on the right wing.

As for the hosts, Sam Allardyce has recalled top scorer Rodrigo Moreno at the expense of the benched Wilfried Gnonto.

Patrick Bamford keeps his place.

The cheapest ‘forward’ in FPL, £4.0m-rated Sam Greenwood, also starts, as does Robin Koch.

Adam Forshaw and Marc Roca are back among the substitutes as a result.

Isak is the most-captained player of the Gameweek if we look at LiveFPL’s numbers for the current top 10,000 Fantasy managers, handed the armband by almost two-thirds of them.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Robles, Ayling, Firpo, Koch, Bamford, Harrison, Rodrigo, Kristensen, McKennie, Wober, Greenwood.

Subs: Meslier, Forshaw, Aaronson, Roca, Summerville, Struijk, Rutter, Gnonto, Gray.

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar, Joelinton, Wilson, Isak, Almiron, Willock, Burn, Guimares.

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

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

  14. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    FFS why didn't I get Wilson. I hate FPL

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It’s a lucky haul- don’t beat yourself up

      He may well have got a 1 point cameo here

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A haul is a haul at the end of the day. -4 would have been worth it in the end to get him 🙁

  15. Bobbyg1
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Assist?

  16. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Really didn't need the monitor. Clear pen.

  17. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    F off Wilsoners

  18. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    wilson owners soooo lucky

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

      Isak obviously the better pick yet several points down

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

      “Players I don’t own scoring points is lucky!”

  19. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Stupid, but was it crystal clear it touched his hand?

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, no doubt. He could’ve gotten an offensive foul too but the contact from Isak wasn’t heavy enough for that decision.

  20. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Isak assist for pointing it out to ref?

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

      Lol

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

    Every single person in my ML has captained Wilson, just can’t write it, and here I am capping Damn Isak

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Same

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

      I'm baffled as well. Reading things here it seemed that my capping Wilson was a differential. Looked at MLs, nope. Everyone around me capped him too.

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

    Wilson owners laughing

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

      Owner but not a capper, unbelievable

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Isak(C) Wilson owner. Another goal for Wilson will be painful 🙁

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

      Same, can’t believe every single person in my ML has capped Wilson

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

      Bingo

  24. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Casual Isak cappers rattled that Newcastle’s pen taker is taking a pen

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

    Wilson now stays on for the hatty lol

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      They'll take him off. Saint Maximin ideal for countering against a Leeds team that has to attack now.

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

    Joke. If only we got an early team leak.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He probably would have blanked if we did. That's how FPL fools you ivery

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        *over lol

  27. dabber7
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Very lucky for Wilson owners, he was just about to be subbed!

  28. g40steve

    Keepers asking for Red

    1. bombonera
      • 4 Years

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

      Hank Schrader should've sent him off

  29. g40steve
