Newcastle United has managed to register two clean sheets in their last five league outings, bringing their tally to ten for the season. They will be looking to enhance this record during their upcoming home fixtures against Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

While Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar contributed to goal involvements in their recent match against Leicester City, Kieran Trippier remains the most dangerous offensive threat from the Magpies’ defence as they head into these matches.

Trippier has recorded over 10 goal involvements across the last two seasons with the club, significantly impacting their set-pieces. However, his campaign has been marred by injuries, limiting him to just eight Premier League starts this season.

Midfielder: Ismaila Sarr – 9.4 points

Crystal Palace faces a tougher schedule compared to Newcastle United, with away matches against both Manchester City and Newcastle. Each team has managed to secure two clean sheets over the past four Gameweeks, although one of these clean sheets came against Leicester City, who have struggled to net in eight straight league games.

Ismaila Sarr has gained popularity among FPL managers in recent times, netting three goals in the last four Gameweeks. Despite posting consecutive blanks since the international break, it’s promising to see his involvement consistently remain high, playing 90 minutes in both matches.

Crystal Palace presents an elevated challenge for their opponents, being undefeated in their last five league games, which include four wins and one draw. A transfer acquisition could prove rewarding, with the Eagles looking forward to a subsequent double in Gameweek 33 against Bournemouth and Arsenal.

According to the AI, Alexander Isak is the prime candidate for captaincy in the Double Gameweek, although his minutes could limit his scoring potential over the two matches. Currently dealing with a groin injury, he managed to blank against Leicester City in his last outing, playing for 71 minutes.

If he has a productive week in training, he might become a strong candidate for the Triple Captain chip. This Swedish forward has amassed 25 goal involvements this season, including 20 goals, with one of those being scored in the earlier encounter against Manchester United, which the Magpies won 2-0.

Isak remains Newcastle United’s leading fantasy contributor this campaign, and on paper, his team has the most favourable fixtures to capitalise on. He’s only blanked in two consecutive league matches three times this season, suggesting a positive return is likely based on his current projection.

Hidden Gem: Jacob Murphy – 9.2 points

Fantasy managers keen on acquiring Newcastle United’s forwards for their Double Gameweek should consider doubling up with Jacob Murphy. The Magpies’ players offer excellent value this week and also feature in the upcoming Blank Gameweek 34.

Murphy is a hot pick following his impressive brace during the 3-0 triumph over Leicester City, bringing his tally to 12 goal contributions in 17 consecutive starts—only Mohamed Salah has had a better return among midfielders during that span.

He leads the way among Newcastle United assets in terms of current form, having recorded three goal contributions since the international break. Although he’s not a true differential (with ownership at 10.8%), he still holds the potential for significant rank improvements.
