Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Players Who Will Earn Major Points This Week

4. Loic Remy

In one of this weekend's stand-out fixtures, Newcastle travel to Sunderland with vengeance on their minds. The last time these sides met, Sunderland memorably prevailed in a famous 3-0 win at St James' Park, with the sight of a jubilant Paolo Di Canio skidding on his knees bound to live long in the memory banks. However, the fiery Italian has gone now, sacked last month, and replaced by Gus Poyet, who is not only taking charge of his first home game as Black Cats boss but also his first Tyne & Wear derby. With Sunderland rock-bottom of the Premier League and still without a win this season, how the Magpies would love to heap yet more misery on their North East rivals on Sunday. And I predict they will do just that by exacting a measure of revenge for last season's hammering, with Loic Remy to put in a man of the match performance. The Frenchman has struck five goals in his last four league games as he builds upon last season's awesome debut in English football, where he netted 6 domestic goals in 14 outings. Expect Remy to be the main source of goals on Sunday in the event of victory for Newcastle.
