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.

    Spurs robbed there.

    How Dier is supposed to deliberately handle a ball when he has his back to the play....?

    1. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      His arm is not in a natural position, you can’t just lift your arms carelessly.

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed, he waves it. Tries to get away with it. Got caught

    1. beric

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Don’t know how I got two CS with Southampton and Leeds defenders. Lucky week for me I think

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Wilson outscoring Kane & Son combined 🙂

  11. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    These handball penalties are getting out of hand. What can Dier do differently!??

  12. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Wilson (and double Spurs defence) owner here... that decision is f*cking insane.

  13. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

  15. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    See told you Spurs are terrible and not to worry about Kane and Son.

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years

  17. UshFPL
    • 10 Years

    1. UshFPL
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Should have scored in the first half too

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I feel like I've dodged around 600 bullets at once. Very lucky...

  19. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years

  20. jdoyle

  21. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I’m on fire lately. Transferred Wilson our last night for Jimi to avoid the price drop/rise. Little departing gift for me. Cheers Calum

    1. jdoyle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Did the same. Perfect way to exit my team.

  22. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Officiating in this league is a disgrace.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It is not officiating. It is the stupid handball rule. You abide by the rules. Change the rule and you change the outcome.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Quite correct.

  23. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Kane sent off. Wtf

  24. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Kane red??

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      After the whistle. Does that count?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Lol

  25. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Does that red affect FPL points or too late?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It counts.

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    The defender had his back to it.

    It will become a tactic to shoot at defenders arms or head it on to them.

  27. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Lloris and Dier owner. AMA.

  28. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

  29. dark91
    • 10 Years

    Does the red card count in Fantasy?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    1. _Freddo

      Yes

      1. Jack Burton
