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.

Above: The Gameweek 36 ‘effective ownership’ stats of the top 10,000 FPL managers

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

  17. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Changed the captaincy from Wilson to Isak in the last hour 🙁

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

      I changed to Isak it yesterday cause the deadline is 6am here and I was worried Wilson wouldn’t start.

  18. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Robles lucky to still be on the pitch too

  19. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    March injury stopped me from getting Wilson, but atleast I got Willock to soften the blow a bit.

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

      Plenty of time for Isak

  24. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    This is what happens when you listen to content creators. Us Wilson owners play our own game and this is the reward . Come learn with Pumps

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

      I didn’t listen to anybody and played my free hit

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

      The content creators literally had nothing to say on this.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        They all went Isak

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

    Hatrick please Callum

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

      He got booked leaving the pitch.

      Luckily the sub took some time coming....

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

    I'm a Wilsoner capper, but I suppose that makes me 'lucky'.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      "You're so jammy because your player got points and mine didn't" is generally the rule

    2. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      better than unlucky

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You'd have to say that getting a penalty right as the penalty taker was about to be subbed off is somewhat fortunate

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

    Need a goal Isak..

  28. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I'm happy enough with the Isak cap and Wilson owning.

  29. g40steve
    • 7 Years
