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.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There were many , never picked up on a stand out

  13. james 101

    Will Jesus start / play?

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He's out for a while.

      Aguero back in a month or so.

      1. Blues for Salah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I think Pep said seven weeks.

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

      Foden center forward masterclass I hope

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Likely Sterling upfront...

        At least it means Mahrez should start.

    4. Blues for Salah
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus out three weeks.

    5. james 101

    Man City Xtra: "Raheem Sterling will play as a striker this afternoon."

    Good luck to those who handed him the armband

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He hasn’t done particularly well there before has he?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        3G 1A in 9 matches for City so not really, goes back 4 years though. It'll be very interesting to see how it plays out, could make us worse overall. Preferred Foden there myself.

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Oh god I’d have loved 6.5 CF Foden. Have him starting for me

    2. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years

      Did Salah > Sterling on a WC after the news yesterday, but still (K)ane.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You have messed up mate

  17. nexec91
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ings or DCL to replace Werner?

    1. Saint Channon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve gone with Jiménez.

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Head says ings, on pens, accurate, DCL can't keep it up surely though I hope he does

      1. Blues for Salah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I don't know about that. Something special is happening at Everton. The total reworking of the midfield deserves a reconsideration of all past assumptions Everton.

        1. nexec91
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Already have Jimenez and my head also says Ings. But i don’t have any Everton asset and i’ve been wrong in every other 50/50 decisions so far lol

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Assuming you have Jiménez then Ings

  18. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So even Bamford is better than Werner.

    Excellent!

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sadly provable!

  19. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How many of you have KDB and sterling?

    (My cap / vc)

    1. Harn1
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. At the cost of Fernandes, Rashford and a -8. But, yes. Sterling (C).

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ha. Well, never know how it’ll work out.

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    22 mins and Son even not touch the ball lol

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      All he needs is one opportunity to cut in

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It was similar last week.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Whenever I have Son this is what happens. Whenever I have Kane (not often) he ends up playing DCM. I'm in useless mode.

  23. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How did Olly Burke play today? Is he decent 4.5 m for bench player over other 4.5 mids?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not if Sheffield United can't score.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Does Ben Davies ever play the ball forward anymore?

    Seems to be sideways or backwards constantly

  25. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is anyone hanging onto Werner?

    Kept him on WC, captained, and taking all my strength not to toss him in the bin for Ings or DCL...

    Team is struggling

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Probably

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Kept on WC too and think going to stick with him as having had the rough the smooth has to come?! Just annoyed I captained him this week

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      giving him next week - still don't think 3 games is enough to dump. Got an assist in the first then played Liverpool so yesterday the only one that has really worried me. Figure another chance is in order and he goes if he blanks
