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.

    So Mourinho brought the goals posts back from Macedonia.

    Son usless against a team that defends deep

    All the casuals got him in after last week with no understanding of football.

    If u had him before the soton game then fair play but mew owners deserve a blank

      stop talking kak. He has hit the post multiple times.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Posts are shots off target

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          did I say anything about SoT. No. Carrying on watching Barney.

          1. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Moving on time 🙂

        2. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          ok , does not substantiate your argument though

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        So did Werner... but he's rubbish apparently?

    2. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Had him all season.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Useless? He’s almost got 2 goals

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        If only almost counted

        1. Zimo
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Should be half points for post hit at least

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Not the point. The point was he was ineffective against teams who sit back

          He’s been dangerous

          1. Zimo
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            No read my second comment. I meant it like in a longing if only. Damn yeah i read it again and it looks bad :p sorry bout that

            1. Zimo
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 11 days ago

              I got Son in 2 of my draft leagues

      2. Crouchy
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        'almost'

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years

      Are you okay?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Im just annoyed i sold bruno for him

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          😆

        2. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Don't blame you for being annoyed. Timing is key

        3. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Type of move a casual would make

    5. Whiskerz
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      You don't half post some rubbish mate.

    6. PepTalk
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      You sound like great company

    7. socho
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      yeah when he hits the post twice...

    8. nani is michael jackson

      Lemons for breakfast lad?

    9. Hy liverpool

      Who the f are you?

    10. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Had him GW1, he will score today and maybe a cheeky assist 😉

    11. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      nice fishing

      1. Amey
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Cought alot of them 😀

    12. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He's an inch off twice from scoring two goals so pretty dumb thing to say

      1. SH1M1
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Hit the post twice, been through on goal 1v1, created a shot for Kane, would have had an assist too if Dier didn’t miss a sister ...

    13. Yes Don
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Hit the frame twice, so his current lack of points has got nothing to do with a deeper defence. Clown.

    14. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      😆

    15. Zilla

      Nice fishing

  3. socho
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    This game woild be so much better without captaincy

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

      Did your captain fail?

    2. ivantys
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Better without penalties for sure

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      I'd usually agree with you. But a captain can save a bad gameweek and mines still to play

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Mine still to play too, Salah capper

        Bamford and Ramsdale my biggest scorers so far.

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Tend to agree yet nothing beats the rush of a big Cpt haul

  4. james 101
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Happy to have sterling and KDB

    Would really like Bruno back though.

    Too many premiums is dangerous though.

  5. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Mourinho unmasked...

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Newcastle deserve a hammering here

    Maybe then Bruce and other managers will think twice about sitting back. They have attacking threat up front but it’s so negative

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah, push high up like Southampton did, that worked well...

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They don't have attacking threat. They have Joelinton.

    3. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Teams get relegated on goal difference. Son will destroy them on the counter if they push high up. Bruce is being smart.

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    I could genuinely be below 6 million rank and burnt a WC after this weekend

  8. james 101
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    So, what’s Bale likely to go to this team?

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      *do

      1. Andy_Social

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Bale will be very useful

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Draw attention from Kane / son / alli?

      2. tokara
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Do u think he still got pace in him

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          Not nearly as much

          But a nice touch? Definitely.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  10. Miguel Sanchez

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      20?

    2. Gudjohnsen

  11. b91jh

    Feeling pain as a Kane(c) owner. Could have bag at least 2 more returns.

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years

      I don't feel sorry for you, Werner cappers I do

    the size of players shin pads these days is hilarious!

    1. The Train Driver

      Size doesn't matter

    2. Galza

      I thought Lascelles was pulling out a chicken fillet from his sock...

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Looked like a piece of foam

  13. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Frustrating half as a Son owner. He deserved more.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      2 goals and an assist -_-.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      So unlucky

  14. Pedram

    Bruno>Son not going well so far

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Fine margins

    2. james 101

      My condolences

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years

      Did the reverse last GW, game sucks

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Same

    4. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Bruno captain wasn't going well for me until the 100th minute, so why even post that? And also, that seems a bit of a knee jerky move but lets see.

    5. St. Stephen XI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      On the balance of play this weekend, I'd be feeling pretty good about that move. Yeah, you've had bad luck but Son looks like he's more likely to rack up points over the long term.

      Unless of course football has become a game of penalties. If that's the case, I'm with Roy Hodgson that it's destroying my enjoyment of football.

  15. Red Red Robins
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    kane and Foden in for Havertz and Werner for -4? Or wait another week and do it for free?

    1. Belli2007
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      perhaps keep an eye on price movements....

      1. Red Red Robins
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        would give me 0.7 in the bank as it stands, so should be fine if i waited

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

      This

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Hurts deep

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Almost similar situation here.

  17. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Spurs actually good? Or Soton and Castle making them look good?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      They've been pretty good this game as well, the new boys incoming will surely strengthen them even more. Better candidates for top 4 than Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal as it looks now.

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Fair point

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Pretty good, think they even get a CS today. Kane looks great as does Son

    3. H-SF
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      We’ve played really well

  18. Pukki Blinders
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Werner hits post... get him out he's rubbish, won't ever score

    Son hits post... great option he's due for a big haul!

    1. Patson Dabaka
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Son scored 4 last week tho?

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Against an abysmal high line Soton defence? What other team would give him that much space?

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          And Werner played West Brom who is arguably worse in defending

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      He just had a bigass haul. Werner has fa

    3. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Son did it twice and it's 45 min left. But I have both and keeping...

    4. tokara
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Werner playing for a noob coach

    5. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      You clearly didn't watch the game then.

    6. Sarnab
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Werner himself would have chosen Son ahead of him

    7. schlupptheweek
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Still needs to hit 1 more time to draw the cheap Hazard

  19. teneighty
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    I can see Davies getting subbed at 59' for this Regulion guy. It just feels like that kind of GW.

    1. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Lol I would be fuming

  20. Scout
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    best 5m def?

    Bruno or son?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Lamptey and Son

      1. Scout
        • 9 Years

    2. james 101

      I’d love Bruno or son for 5m

      1. Scout
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          James / Justin?

        2. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          I have Saiss, Lamptey and Ayling

          1. james 101
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            James and justin have been useful so far mate.

            Worth considering.

  21. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Spurs will get at least a couple more here and can be sure that Kane and Son will be involved.

    1. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Amen

  22. Brosstan
    • 12 Years

    Kane is such a force ones he’s match fit

    1. Belli2007
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Werner and Martial to Kane and DCL a no brainer? Clearly should have done it before price drops but didn't....

      Keeping hold of Havertz for time being as surely one has to deliver at some point....

        Sorry, didn't mean this to be a reply but agree. fantasy gold when on form and fit!! Will repost...

    Son to tear United a big one next week

    1. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Pretty sure United will sit back. It won't be easy.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        They can't. It's OGS.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 11 days ago

          United are weirdly good against the bigger sides.

          532 and hit on the counter with pace.

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            Exactly. The only strategy OGS has.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 days ago

            And after that it's time for Son to counter attack? Could be high scoring with early goal imo.

    Wood and Werner to Ings and DCL for -4?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Harsh on the woodster great fixtures and robbed of a goal yesterday

      Good moves though

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Go for it.

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Hmmm looks good but Wood or Werner to DCL and save the hit imo

    I would be livid if I captained Son

      Why? The game isn't over yet and every time you pick a Captain you run the risk a blank. It is part of the game.

      Until he bangs in a hatrick second half

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Many did C Timo

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Fortunately I resisted.

        Got to just get rid now.

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      At half time ?

  27. schlupptheweek
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    I transferred out Son this week for Sterling so can't believe my luck!
    Must be making up for Trossard

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      One has 45 min more and another hasn't even played.

  28. Dreams
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 days ago

    Should I continue with Kane or sell him for Jimmy?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      stick for sure

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Sell

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Keep

    4. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Hey Dreams , long time fella. Continue imo , nobody else you can do for Jimmy ?

      1. Dreams
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks Deb. Hope you are doing well. Can sell Mitro but have to downgrade Auba.

    5. JURGENAUT
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Keep - Kane is electric right now

  29. james 101

    Little help? What to do this week?

    Martinez Steer
    Digne Saiss James Justin Mitchell
    KDB Rodriguez Zaha Sterling Hendrick
    Jimmy Martial DCL

    A. Roll the FT
    B. Martial out (but for who?!)
    C. Zaha out (but for who?!)
    D. Something else?!

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Tempted to roll it.

      I’d love to add Bruno tbh but unless KDB or sterling are injured...

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Looks like a freshly WC-ed team. A should be fine, 2FT next week will be useful.

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Cheers Batman!

  30. Rolls-Royce

    I wonder why teams like United and Man City aren't going for Ings. He is clearly better than Martial and Jesus and has been in a world-class for over a year.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Injury history?

    2. tokara
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      In Giggs opinion, u need to have United dna to be a United player

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Liverpool had him but injuries stalled his career there.

      Agree with you though but wonder if he's one of those strikers that is better with a mid to lower table team.
