Son Heung-min (£8.6m) looks set to lead the Spurs attack against Newcastle today as he earned his second consecutive start since returning from the Asian Cup.

That pushes Fernando Llorente (£5.7m) to a place among the substitutes despite his 12-point haul against Watford midweek.

There was also a surprise benching for Danny Rose (£5.8m), who was expected to start with an injury to Ben Davies (£5.6m). Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) might potentially fill in for him at left-back, although could be part of a back-three if one of the midfielders named in the team is playing wing-back on the opposite flank to Kieran Trippier (£6.1m).

Christian Eriksen (£9.4m), Lucas Moura (£6.8m) and Erik Lamela (£6.1m) look like the supporting cast to Son in attacking midfield.

Newcastle have named a relatively unsurprisingly formation too, going with the 4-5-1 system that has served them so well of late.

Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) and Christian Atsu (£5.1m) look likely to provide support to DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m) and Florian Lejeune (£4.4m) while Salomón Rondón (£5.7m) leads a one-man attack.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Lucas, Son.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie; Perez, Longstaff, Hayden, Atsu; Rondon.

    who is playing most forward for spurs?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moura

      1. Chenku╰☆╮

        I sold moura 😀

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moura. Then Son. Then Lamela.

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Moura

  2. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So, Llorente owners want an early Toon goal, and Moura/Lamela to play s***** (the latter its almost guaranteed).

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Llorente one point cameo would be sweet.

  3. HD7
    • 9 Years

    Llorente :/

    Any news on the % of TC's played this GW ?

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

      8.2% of the top 10k

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    benching llorente just when he is picking up confidence. Could be a big mistake from poch

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      For that reason, it was a really dumb decision.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He's a big lunk, more effective coming on for 30 min imo.

  10. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Any Newcastle fans out there...

    Almiron not involved because his visa not completed. Any idea when it will be?

    Could be a good pick from GW27 onwards.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      They'll want it done ASAP.

      Regardless, you wait and see how he plays. Still plays for Newcastle, remember.

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years

      Next week

  11. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Son is definitely not playing LWB. LW.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      LM.
      343 ??

  12. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs have 3 of the worst selfish players in Moura, Lamela and Son.

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      And one of the least selfish, in Eriksen.

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I apologise to Bemba 😆

  14. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    10 mins in and its clear. Son is a prime FPL asset and should be owned.

    Looking forward to getting him in.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years

    4. The 5% Team
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yes, only 75 more minutes before I get him in

    5. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I TC'd him in the first DGW last season and a got a couple of big captaincy hauls from him in and around that double. Can't wait to get him back in next week all going well 🙂

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Longstaff raring to go.

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years

    My cup opponent played his bench boost this week while i'm going in without a chip. Bloody brilliant..

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You will be at an advantage later on in the season

    2. clodhopper
      • 12 Years

  17. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    who's on pens for Spurs?

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully not Trippier!

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Son

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If it's not Eriksen, Poch is crazy.

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen most likely

  18. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Llorente would have buried that.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      *Son

  19. Rash
    • 9 Years

    Moura with the 50p head

  20. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lucas free header wide

  21. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Moura is quality

  22. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Llorente would have scored loll

  23. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Might did everything wrong today.. Salah (c) over Sane and played Ings and benched Doherty

  24. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Moura miss

  25. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Isn't this the sort of game spurs need to be playing llorente? Spurs doing nothing but crossing it atm.

  26. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    Who's upfront with Spurs?

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      For*

      1. HamezMace

        Moura

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          Thanks

  27. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Terrible miss from Moura. Llorente prob would have fluffed it anyway tbf

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Llorente wouldn't have the pace to get into the position to score. That is the choice Poch has made - Moura's pace vs Llorente's ability in the air.

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No pace required in that situation, Moura was static and Schar played him on. Are you watching the game?

  28. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Son moved central now
