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.

    Firpoo

    Ref does Sam a favour there. Why is he ever picked? Bielsa's worst decision.

    1. The Abyss
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t think Bielsa had anything at all to do with Leeds signing that trash.

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

    Trippier screamer incoming. When he hits a young child in the crowd...

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years

    Trip(c) please!

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wow that was unusual choice

  5. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Firgone

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Isak talking to trippier

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

      Do we get points for that?

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

    Schar or trippier

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Any points for either from that?

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

    Trippier on the free kick?

  9. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Isak useles

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

    Rubbish fk from trippier

  11. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Lol. No lollygagging on the pitch!

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

    Fan pushes Howe

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

      Not a fan of Howe, I presume.

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

      Does Isak get an assist for that?

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

    Can’t wait for the Trippier OG to be added

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

      If it is, we riot

  14. Traction Engine Foot
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Why's Willock's assist been removed?

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

        I have him tripple C omg

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

      I was wondering why it was given in the first place? No assist for the pen because it was hand ball.

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

        Player who plays the ball that results in a handball always gets the assist in FPL.

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

          I see. I assume Willock crossed it in then?

          1. Traction Engine Foot
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah he did

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

      It should come back. It better.

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

        Doubt they would remove it just now. And then re-add it later?

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

    Trips 0 points .. almost

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

    Trippier lucky there

    No yellow

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

      Ref remembered he had captained him

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

      Phew, the +4 places I am earning for the Trippier 1 pointer are safe

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

    Gordon has easily been one of the biggest flops of the season. He's done absolutely nothing every time I've seen him so far for Newcastle

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

    That big guy with the beard should be in the next Bond movie.

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

      Slow start but stepped up!

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

        Yeah really wasn't paying attention to his job at all but good menace at the end.

  19. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I bought Felix this week but benched him as the predicted line ups had him nowhere in sight.

    Looks like he's on for Rashford. Haul please.

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

      Where were you looking at a predicted Rashford start?

      1. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Felix

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

    Thanks March for blocking Wilson move. Batman starting instead.

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

    Schar shot saved

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

      For flip sake. JUST GIVE ME ONE.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Only time he gets any points is when I free hit him out. Looks like scoring every week and then bangs in an own goal

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

    Schar goal denied

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

    2 dropped points from Newcastle with Brighton up next for them.

    United and Liverpool could punish them for this...

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

      Game on ...

      Great start to the weekend tho.

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

      Think they may end up having to rely on their superior goal difference.

  24. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Isak benched next week? Wilson to start?

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

      Should be yeah

    2. mdm
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Likely

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

      Lol how? Plenty of rest inbetween

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

        None of the people that think he will be inexplicably rested own him, that's all.

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

      Yep.

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

      They're not dropping Isak in such an important game so they can play the likes of Gordon or bendy legged Saint Maxim.

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

        This. No idea how people come to the conclusion that Isak wouldn’t start, especially with bucket loads of rest!

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

          Yep, they're benching their record signing for a game that's pivotal to getting into the Champions League because a 23 year old can't play a game of football five and a half days apart...

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

            Lmao! Spot on!

    6. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You wish 😀

  25. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    G how bad is ASM

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

      Adama Traore 2.0

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

        Oh yes

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

    As a Isak capper and Wilson owner that was a bit dissapointing

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

      We rise

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

    15k rank rise - wish I had captained Wilson instead of Isak. But still happy.

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

      Same

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

    Wilson lucky hauls especially for the 2nd pen (was going off) but that’s how fpl works.

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

      Always better to be lucky than good

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

      Why is the club nominated pen taker lucky?

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

      Yeah. But you also have to score the pen. Ask Bam-Bam.

  29. TyroneGAA
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Willock assist removed?

    1. Dollyems15
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeh I have him as well, surely he gets the assist

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

    Phew 1 Skull down
