They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

Gordon seems bound to come on for one of these Newcastle wingers at some point. Need more output before he does.
They might even do Isak > Wilson too.

Burn scores for my rival who has 5 players playing
Feck. Cunha with a goal and assist for 3 straight weeks
My Raul differential didn't work
1 goal and 1 assist from 3 Newcastle attackers. Not great, just glad I didn't captain Isak or tomorrow's game with Salah would not be fun.
Oh well, could have been an absolute smashfest, so you try and cover the high ceiling.

Dammit, Trippier was the play. Did have him in there are one point, but never mind.
2 assists and most guaranteed cleany ever. Hope not many rivals went down that route.

Aye, if not going for the triple Newcastle attackers would have had Trippier in there instead.
Thing is, the worry was more to do with one of Barnes or Murphy not starting. If I knew they were starting for certain as they did in the end Trippier wouldn't have been in the reckoning for me so can't moan too much.

In your defense Newcastle have a horrible habit of conceding the odd needless goal in games that are done. And trippier hasn't had a particularly productive season. I say all this to make myself feel better having gone through the exact same thought process before deciding against tripps.
Goal off the bench for you!
Cunha with a second assist.
Sessgnon!
Raul a waster though and so is Welbeck.

Sake...just when I'd come in to be delighted at a Sessegnon goal! Oh well, that partially makes up for the Cunha v Larsen mistake!
Yesssss
It's been fun today, makes me want to play Fantasy Challenge or wish we could have a wildcard every week.
Shame the numbers playing challenege are much lower. Could be a laugh if there was a big community around it all.

Brilliant start for me there Burn, Isak and Cunha all with returns. Double Newcastle clean sheet as well as Cucarella in the early game. Couldn't ask for much more.
Such a lucky week. 64 with four including Salah cappa to play. SA with the pen save too.
70 with single Salah and TAA to go.
14 points ahead of saftey score. Decent. Salah cappers will pull some of that back, at least 2 if just plays 60 then more for everything else. Just hope he doesn't go mental.

Good lad! All is forgiven
54 so far, with Van D, Salah (c) and Diaz to come.
Unless the former and latter utterly smash it, probably going to lose out to a few rivals, or stand still against others.
Never mind. These weeks can be a real lotto - get on the big 2-3 scorers or fail basically.

38 points before the bonus from 5 players ain’t that bad but gutted about going for Larsen over Cunha. But that’s a good start with Salah captain to play
55 from 6.
Not humble in the slightest, just the first half decent week since…..
… all season?
We're in a good position so if we feck it up from here then that's on us
71 from 9 players in my free hit. Palmer and Jimenez with the blanks. Done a little tweak and dropped Welbeck for Jimenez, so much of a muchness. Brought in Jose Sa late too and it worked well! Likely my best every defence return, all 4 in double figures!
Jose Sa
Air Nouri, Sessegnon, Trippier
Murphy, Palmer, Salah (C), Diaz
Larsen, Jimenez, Isak
Subs: Sanchez, Mbeumo, TAA, Cucerella
Wishful thinking on Palmer - but as hoped up to 2nd in work league and gap to leader is 50. There is hope for bragging rights yet.

He doesn't look like he can even control the ball right now.
Thought you meant United’s Kone then… was thinking “not for sale and def not £6m”
Knowing United, they'll get wind of our "21 year old striking sensation" and buy him for 10m. Putting him on a 6 year 80k a week deal.
Two years ago, yeah. Not with Berrada and Wilcox.
Delap, Cunha and a RWB if we can sell a
couple.
Got midfielders coming out of ears in the academy… Moorhouse and Kone definitely get minutes and Gore, Lacey, Fletcher possibles too.
We win the EL and I’m fully on board the “PL title in 26/27” train.
See Palace players can do something when it’s not the league?
Though at least Mateta didn't miss the pen in our fantasy teams!
feckin hell. The free hit template has destroyed me this week. Typical.
Is Palace winning a bad result?
Potentially get the double GW but will they even care, rotate? Tripled up on them from the last round of doubles.
If it were Villa through (doubled up on them), they'd still have to try in the league in the race for 5th.

Yeah. On 40 from 5 players and still miles behind in my leagues because of the free hit cnuts.
It's definitely playoffs now.
Good luck
Had 30 points from a keeper and 2 defenders, that part was brilliant and utterly maxxed out.
But the Newcastle romp failed to materialise, Palmer and wrong Wolves striker have blown it.
Never mind. Still in line to at least cover my £30 paid for entry to 2 leagues!

Saw suggestions that double gameweeks in 36 might not happen now as the clubs likely wouldn't want to play midweek before the FA Cup final. Instead they'll stay in 37, just midweek after the final.
Would suit me if true.
The only one that had to become a double was Villa vs Spurs if Villa won their semi final as Spurs could well be in the Europa League final midweek in 37. That's not a thing now that Villa are out.

It’s time to get rid of any Palace players I think.
They’ve got nothing to play for in the league so will rotate

I genuinely hate Semenyo.
Just seen the Spurs lineup, why did I cap Isak?
Aty least TAA starts for me.

3-1 and Salah hasn't even scored. His got his new contract and a PL medal, so he can take his foot off the gas now.
