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.

    This rule, interpretation, VAR - call it what you like - is destroying football.

    For FPL... get all the penalty takers, there will be hundreds.

    Never a pen. Absolute disgrace the way this game is going.

      Neither was the one against us. Agree football is broken

      Correct decision, bad rules and awful end of the game. The header would not have caused any danger and was totally not intentional.

    Took Calum Wilson out in wildcard. What a joke.

  9. KGFC

    Haha... Sold Wilson on WC 🙁

    1. Bubz

      Rightly so

      1. KGFC
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        I'm thinking it's better to have pen takers in your team... Pathetic rules.

      Same... also Bruno. Both scummed 95th minute pens

    horrible decision

    It is not VAR. It is the handball rule. Change the rule then VAR will rule it not a handball.

      ^this

    2. TomSaints
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Important to remember that. We need an umpires call like cricket. If ref gives handball in real time it’s checked. If there’s a blatant one they tell ref to go have a look at the screen.

      Yep, been saying this for ages. VAR as a concept is ok. It’s just doing a good job in exposing farcical laws of the game like handball and offside. Football is fast becoming a joke sport.

      I think everybody knows that. Still shite. Awful end football wise.

    So, so stupid. Are players supposed to jump like bloody salmon? Teams are going to start taping players arms to their body. They'll need to unwrap whenever there's a throw in.
