Son recovers from injury as Doherty and Davies drop to bench for United v Spurs

Son Heung-min (£9.0m) is fit to feature in Tottenham Hotspur’s clash with Manchester United this afternoon, having made a swift recovery from a hamstring injury.

Having initially ruled the Korean out until after the October international break, Jose Mourinho appeared to be slowly backpedalling on that initial prognosis during the week and Son indeed makes the starting XI this afternoon.

Kick-off in the penultimate match of Gameweek 4 is at 16:30 BST.

Son may have been passed fit but Mourinho has otherwise rung the changes from the Gameweek 3 draw against Newcastle United, no doubt in response to the Lilywhites’ brutal schedule that has seen them play cup matches on both Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Full-backs Matt Doherty (£5.9m) and Ben Davies (£4.9m) drop to the bench, while Giovani Lo Celso (£6.9m) isn’t risked after sustaining a knock in the 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa.

Midfielders Lucas Moura (£6.9m) and Harry Winks (£5.5m) are also among the substitutes, having started all three Premier League games before today.

Dele Alli (£7.6m) makes the 18-man squad but again doesn’t feature from the start.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m), Sergio Reguilon (£5.5m), Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m), Tanguy Ndombele (£5.9m) and Erik Lamela (£5.9m) are the players who come into Spurs’ side at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United team news is a lot more straightforward.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made one alteration to his side from Gameweek 3, with Eric Bailly (£5.0m) replacing Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) at centre-half.

Almost 1.4 million FPL managers sold Son ahead of the Gameweek 4 deadline, with no other Fantasy asset suffering as many transfers out as the South Korea international in a single Gameweek so far this season.

Anthony Martial (£8.9m) was also out of favour, with his 303,342 sales making him the second-most sold FPL forward of this weekend.

Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) is the only Manchester United player who has a double-digit ownership in FPL at the time of writing, with three Spurs players – Doherty, Son and Harry Kane (£10.5m) – featuring in more than 10% of Fantasy squads.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Kane.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood, Martial.

        Diesel.... Martinez, Lamptey are great budget picks. You can't have a team of superstars. Zaha has soengood fixtures, KWP again is a good budget pick and Pereria is decent at around the 6m mark. I don't like the Justin pick, but to say they are 'crap' is a bit wide of the mark

      Relax. I'm the same. 10 years, lots of decent finishes including a top 100 and I've completely messed up this season. 4m OR, wasted a WC last week, this week I'm on 28 with 3 to play so don't expect to move up much. It's a mess, but it'll be fun trying to recover.

      Plenty of us in the same boat, this is categorically the worst start to the season in years. Sitting at 3mill, WC used last week & sitting on 27 points so for this week. No Spurs currently, overloaded on Wolves & City who look poor. Too many fires to put out even if I had hoses for hands.

      However that all being said, it’s a long season. I expect there to be some ‘normality’ to return in the future, the ‘casual’ players won’t navigate the double game weeks, likely line up changes due to Covid etc. That’s where strategy starts to come into play rather than the element of luck we are clearly lacking currently.

      In short, try to be patient. I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s all we have right now pal.

      Don't personally like Brewster when there's so many value forwards with pens around (Maupay, Wilson, Antonio etc) so I would probably go Zaha to one of them but I can see the appeal. Going without any City feels a little short sighted though.
