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.

    Hahaha. I bet my left nutsack that Son doesn't score a goal today.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Take him off

    2. Third Eye Vision
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ah. The double nutsack. May as well gamble with the left one.

  2. Puntillimon
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son has a wicked left foot

  3. Zimo
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son taking inspiration from Trossard

  4. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane is gonna be a beast this season, 20+ goals and how many assists? 10+ ez
    Doubt he will match KDB's points as he is a FWD but still potentially gonna be like 230 points maybe

    1. Pukki Blinders
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Won't get goals playing at CAM

      1. dark91
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He already got 3 clear chances today and is still on pens.
        Will probably stay in the box once Bale starts playing

        1. Pukki Blinders
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Will be even deeper when Bale comes in imo

          1. dark91
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Hmmm how I see it is Bale on the right, Son on the left, and Kane moves forward. Maybe Moura plays as a false 9 or so

            1. Pukki Blinders
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah but I can see Bale playing much further forward than Moura

        2. MrZ
          6 years, 1 month ago

          To assist bale?

      2. have you seen cyan
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He will score over 20 as long as he doesnt get injured, its Kane

    2. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think he's ever reached 230

      1. Zimo
        6 years, 1 month ago

        224 his highest with 29 goals and 7 assists

        1. have you seen cyan
          6 years, 1 month ago

          😮 that will be hard to beat

  5. Pukki Blinders
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son going to pull a Trossard today

  6. Traction Engine Foot
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone mentioned trossard?

  7. Zilla
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone doing the woodwork challenge now

  8. dark91
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Roles so far in today's game
    Kane = Che Adams
    Son = Trossard

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son = Hames assist the assistor

  9. Paul Psychic Octopus
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Dang! Not only so close to 5 pts again, counts as a shot off target and reduces his BAPs tally.

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle are trash

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Useless is a compliment

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Close him down in your own time, Jamaal

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone backing off, no pressure, just waiting to be slaughtered. Awful tactics

  12. Bobby Crush
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son hits the bar.

  13. FFSbet.com
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you go for

    A) Bruno

    B) Kane

    1) TAA + Hamez

    2) Doherty + Son

    1. Joyce1998
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A and 1

  14. President Giggs
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This is such an uncomfortable watch as someone with no Spurs players

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Newcastle look woeful we're lucky spurs aren't 4 up at least

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Does Fudgy own Son and Trossard?

  15. Dynamic Duos
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son is the main man at Spurs

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t help much when he missed very chance

  16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Trossard : You can't break my record of hitting the post

    Son : Hold my beer

    1. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Still needs more. Trossard is in the lead

  17. GOTHAM City F.C.
    6 years, 1 month ago

    José thinks this goal is small as well.

  18. Crouchy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Son with another shot off target

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I’m going to have a massive headache after today, had a fantastic start but know I need KdB or Sterling.
    Just no idea how I’ll fit them in 🙁

  20. Joyce1998
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson to score a cheeky goal in the second half

  21. Andy_Social
    6 years, 1 month ago

    yellow for Fester

  22. The Train Driver
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Got Son for Rash - 4, of course this is going to happen...

    1. PapaWengzz
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

  23. St. Stephen XI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Voldemort with the yellow card.

  24. Esalman
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Son (C) likely to register any attacking returns at all today?

    1. PapaWengzz
      6 years, 1 month ago

      not likely

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sure

    3. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks very unlucky and so unlikely

    4. dark91
      6 years, 1 month ago

  25. OPTA FPL

  27. seewhyaxe
    6 years, 1 month ago

    no assets in this game.

    hiding behind couch!

    1. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same - most rivals got Son and/or Kane. A few captaincies whilst I went for Werner 🙁

  28. Whiskerz
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Even without owning spurs assets im enjoying this. An exciting game!

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly why you're enjoying it, they ain't scoring.

    2. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. Can't have em all. If you have spurs u could possibly miss out on liverpool or city assets. Everyone will do well. U just have to stick with the ones u have

  29. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Time to quit this game.

    Logs off

    1. The Train Driver
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The amount of times people have quit the game on here FPL wouldn't have more than 10k players...

  30. Threat Level Midnight
    6 years, 1 month ago

    My team from last week has all returned this weekend so far. Very glad I used my WC 🙂
