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.

  9. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Qatar won the Asian Cup, wonder how much that cost them

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

      & Spurs 😉

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

      Zinger.

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

      Makes it less dodgy when they suddenly become half decent when they host the world cup.

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not really sure how a team that scored 19 goals and conceded 1 could have “bought” a cup :/

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

        Agreed. They dominated the tournament

  10. Numb
    • 11 Years

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Seems to be primarily on the left but has been drifting inside

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Everywhere in attack 😉

    Wembley looks empty, how many tickets are allowed for a premium match? Notice top tiers are shut,

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I meant premier league match

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Time to do Aguero > Auba?

    0pts for Kun so far this GW wasn’t what I was hoping for.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      haha yes

      you've left it late though.
      Aguero price has gone down to 10m and Auba is 18m

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      In 2hours we'll know if you are really patient or idiot.

      I lost patience this week and sold for Sterling. Had him since GW3

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What about a car/BRI DGW?

    6. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I will never own Hazard again before gw29

    7. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      until next week right?

    8. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      im selling him even if he scores 5

  14. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 4 months ago

    My son has just told me I have captained Salah when I know I had Sane (c)

    Aahh!

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He’s going to look a bit foolish when you show him

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No - he's right! It's me that looks foolish. It must be something to do with a session timing out.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Oh dear

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Could have been worse!

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

        This... could've been 3rd in the world and capped Digne

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

          This.....yikes, what a shocker....

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Son needs to concentrate on this game rather than checking your FPL team.

  15. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Predictions for Cpal-Ful and Bri-Wat?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      2-0 and 1-2

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      1-1
      1-2

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

      0-0
      1-0

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Brighton always seem to bounce back at home after a bad loss. Going for 2-1 Brighton or something along those lines.

      I think there will be goals in Palace-Fulham, but not sure how many and by which team!

    5. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      0-0 and 0-0

    6. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      thanks all

  16. FDMS All Starz

    My Team for GW26:

    Allison
    TAA - Bednarek - Wanbisa - Doherty
    Salah - Richa - Son - Pogba - Sane
    Rashford

    Subs: Speroni - Deeney - Bardsley - Kamara

    Should I do these transfers this week or save the FT and do it next week?

    Deeney & Richa --> Auba & Jota (-4)

    Brilliant hold up and lay off by rondon, then almost banged in a header.. Everytime I watch him the more I want him.. Esp vs Huddersfield 27 Burnley 28

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I plan
      Hazard Aguero Kamara
      Son Aubameyang Rondon by 27

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

      Yeah it's him or Jimi for me, not sure which one yet.

    3. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He’s my third striker but been on the bench last two gws unfortunately, for his price he is great tho

  24. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Rondonaldo looking to punish me for the 2nd week running for benching him 😯

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      good player - wish we had him at Chelsea!

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

    Rondon and Mitrovic similar players. Who's the better overall striker in your opinion?

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

      Mitrovic.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      mitro

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

      Mitro. Added entertainment value too.

    4. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rondon for value in fpl

    5. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rondon more consistent

      Mitro loses his head too easily

    6. hsakrujd
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Agree Mitro is better, but Newcastle has much better fixtures, so both in form, still prefer Rondon

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

    Moura in this game shown that the way to head a football is to get off the pitch and allow Llorente to come on.

  27. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who’s starting Digne vs Watford next week?

    #troll

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think I will start BendyWreck instead

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      14 pointer incoming

  28. shearer9
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Why would a player's price be locked following completion of a suspension? What's the sense in that?

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

    Son getting angry

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Just overtired

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

      Feed him so.

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Stick him on the naughty step and tell him his not getting pudding tonight.

  30. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    3rd overall captained Digne, weird one that

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

      ouch

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

        -6 incoming

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      a silly risk really

      if Salah misses out he's up creek

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        actually he's up creek anyway forgot Digne has second game

      2. Goat
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Or if Digne starts or comes on against city

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think that is benchw*ankery gone badly wrong!

      In effect he has captained a defender against Man City. Woops.

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Deserves to do badly
