Reguilon makes bench but Alli and Saint-Maximin miss out on Spurs v Newcastle

Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) isn’t involved in the Newcastle United squad for the Magpies’ clash with Tottenham Hotspur, which is the second of four Premier League fixtures to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off in north London is at 14:00 BST.

The French winger was a doubt for this match with an ankle injury he picked up in the defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion but had been pictured in full training on Friday, raising hopes of a swift recovery.

Jamal Lewis (£4.5m), who took a blow to the eye in that Gameweek 2 defeat, is only fit enough for a place on the bench, meanwhile.

Matt Ritchie (£5.0m), Miguel Almiron (£5.9m) and Joelinton (£5.9m) all make their first league starts of the season, having shone in Newcastle’s 7-0 win over Morecambe in midweek.

Andy Carroll (£5.5m) is the other player to make way.

The team news is a lot more straightforward from a Spurs point of view, with Jose Mourinho making only one change from their 5-2 win at Southampton last weekend.

Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) comes into midfield in place of Tanguy Ndombele (£6.0m), with the Frenchman only among the substitutes.

Dele Alli (£7.7m) and the injured Gareth Bale (£9.5m) aren’t in the squad but there is a place on the bench for new signing Sergio Reguilon (£5.5m) following his move from Real Madrid.

Son Heung-min (£9.1m) and Harry Kane (£10.5m), unsurprisingly, keep their places following last weekend’s monster FPL hauls.

Son was the most-bought midfielder of Gameweek 3, with just under one million Fantasy managers recruiting the South Korea international.

Kane and Son are the fourth and fifth most-popular captaincy picks for this round of games.

Only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.9m) suffered more sales than Saint-Maximin ahead of Saturday’s deadline, meanwhile.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Doherty, Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Lo Celso, Lucas, Son, Kane.

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Ritchie, Hayden, Shelvey, Almiron, Hendrick, Joelinton, Wilson.

        You are too stupid, do some research to find out that it is a law from IFAB, which has to be approved by FIFA. Absolutely nothing to do with the FA, you know nothing about football.

    Seriously football is the most whinny sport. It was announced prior to the season that they would follow fifa protocol this season.

    Do these 'teams' at the games not read the updated rules at the start of each season? Imagine going into work and not knowing how everything works and then just saying you don't like it.

    It sucks but you should all know it was coming for at least a season.

      It's the way the law is written. The referee doesn't really have any latitude in making the decision, and because the referee doesn't really have the freedom to apply common sense, this is what you're going to get.

      I think the problem is that they've tried to legislate handball as if it's a line call (goal line technology, offside rule) and it doesn't work that way. If your arm is away from your body and the ball hits your arm, VAR is going to show that.

      I would hope that there's a push to have the law changed over the international break, but my spider sense tells me that we're stuck in this twilight zone for at least the rest of this season.

    In bit of a dilemma, been keeping patient with team / not been taking hits and ended up not tapped into Everton yet.. surely DCL form has to drop off at some point?

    Presume strategy should be to hold off on wildcarding for as long as possible otherwise will just be a few weeks behind other wildcarders and not any better off

    Attack is currently
    Salah Son Havertz Soucek Burke
    Kane Werner Wilson

    Werner + Salah > Jiménez + KDB/Sterling the best next move for free?
