Rare Newcastle double Gameweek opens doors for Dream Team bosses seeking short-term gains

DREAM TEAM managers should give Newcastle players due consideration ahead of Gameweek 22. Without European fixtures to bolster their schedule this season, the Magpies have had fewer point-scoring opportunities than the teams active in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, limiting the viability of their top assets.

However, their presence in the Carabao Cup semi-finals means Eddie Howe's troops have two games in the diary for Gameweek 22, when the vast majority of teams will play just once. And of the four teams set to pull double duty, only Newcastle have the luxury of two home fixtures - a useful bonus factor.

Fulham are due at St James' Park on Saturday before Arsenal make their way to Tyneside on Wednesday night. Newcastle already have one foot in the Carabao Cup final having won 2-0 at the Emirates in the first leg earlier this month. Alexander Isak (£6.1m) and Anthony Gordon (£5.3m) were the goalscorers that day and the pair should be considered the best options for Dream Team bosses looking to target the Toon's rare double Gameweek.

The Swedish striker is up to third in the overall rankings having taken Southampton for 18 points last time out. He's amassed 230 points at an average of 9.2 per game via 19 goals and seven assists - hugely impressive stats. Gordon is currently ranked ninth among midfielders with 179 points to his name.
